		To critics of the public relations industry it is also the means and industry used by corporations to deceive the public and to manipulate public opinion for economic and political gain.
		Modern public relations uses a variety of techniques including opinion polling and focus groups to evaluate public opinion, combined with a variety of high-tech techniques for distributing information on behalf of their clients, including satellite feeds, the Internet, broadcast faxes, and database-driven phone banks to recruit supporters for a client's cause.
		One of the most controversial practices in public relations is the use of front groups -- organizations that purport to serve a public cause while actually serving the interests of a client whose sponsorship may be obscured or concealed.

	The Cruise-Holmes affair: True love or publicity stunt?
		The coupling of stars to create ballyhoo for a movie, burnish an actor's image, create a name or distract attention from other relationships may not be as common as when the movie studios tightly controlled stars' careers through the 1950s, some publicists and film industry experts assert.
		After appearing together in public for the first time late last month, cuddling and smooching at a film awards ceremony in Italy, the instant couple - they had met only weeks earlier - made the covers of the Big Three: Us Weekly, Star and People.
		Publications often ask about "the circumstances under which the pictures were taken," he said.

		The hatred or disgust towards the judeo-xtian world is usually ery serious.Other things such as norse mytholgic image or satanic rites usually tend to be "publicity stunts".

		Frankly I viewed it as bit as a publicity stunt and I hope it works for the money that they paid for it.
		Those are just some of the examples that I think that probably should have been laid out to the public at the time of the broadcast.
		The fact we don't end of broadcasting it doesn't mean that we're ashamed of asking the question; it may be a line of inquiry that we didn't think was merited in the end, and it didn't deserve publication.

	All Who Doubt That America Truly Is The Land Of Opportunity, Take Heart!
		Bush Administration flacks told them, and they obediently broadcast, and cablecast, that this was not a campaign publicity stunt (the explanation was offered preemptively, just in case some liberal whiner might suggest such a thing).
		The president, who would normally land on a military carrier deck by helicopter, had to forego the whirlybird, and instead do the daring jet-jockey thing because the ship was too far out at sea, and he was so eager to address the returning troops that he couldn’t wait for it to get closer.
		When Bush made his vaunted landing, the Lincoln was only 36 miles from shore, and in fact had to be turned to a non-standard recovery heading so that the nearby San Diego skyline was not visible to the loftily perched press cameras during the (affirmative) action-hero’s big carrier entrance.

	Apple Breakthrough Leak, or Apple Publicity Stunt?

		Cleaver misdirecting hype tactic for lots of free publicity in the same industry, you have to admit if it's true.
		Only recent publicity from the Vivendi stunt, the launch of the Apple Music Store and a new lower priced iPod, has helped Apple’s stock to budge upward a couple dollars.
