Mastermind Of Despicable PR Campaigns

“ Berman is known for masterminding public relations campaigns against animal rights, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and labor unions. Berman’s strategy is to go to the masses and persuade them to pressure office-holders,” said Dunbar. “Since he’s not contacting lawmakers he doesn’t have to register as a lobbyist and say who he’s working for or how much he’s getting paid. It’s tricky, the First Amendment applies to Berman too, the onus is really on the journalists and the public. People need to consider the source of the information before they take it seriously.”

“People always ask me one question all the time: ‘How do I know that I won’t be found out as a supporter of what you’re doing?’ ” Mr. Berman told the crowd. “We run all of this stuff through nonprofit organizations that are insulated from having to disclose donors. There is total anonymity. People don’t know who supports us.”

Mr. Berman repeatedly boasted how he could take checks from the oil and gas industry executives he said he had already collected six-figure contributions from some of the executives in the room and then hide their role in funding his campaigns.
