Talk:Patricia Harrison

Typo?
"...Tomlinson resigned from the CPB board..." = should this be Harrison? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.230.232.119 (talk) 15:59, May 22, 2018‎


 * No, it is not a typo. Tomlinson was the board member that resigned due to controversy surrounding Harrison's hire. That could be clarified, but it is not incorrect. --LinkTiger (talk) 21:41, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Controversy is putting it mildly. I've been trying to figure out why public broadcasting has been pushing a conservative agenda filled with climate denial for several decades.  My search ended on this page. Viriditas (talk) 23:21, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Whitewashed - PR work for tobacco and oil corporations
This page looks like a whitewash of a person who's been deeply involved in PR campaigns for the tobacco and oil industries, but who likes to present themselves as more neutral.

I'm not able to put the time in to find suitable sources and write it up. But for anyone working on the page, here are a couple of links that give an overview of her career (which I suspect are more accurate than the current Wikipedia page, even if they're more open about their POV): --Chriswaterguy talk 23:36, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

 * https://www.drillednews.com/post/new-documents-link-tobacco-oil-and-public-media (and the 29 min podcast episode linked there goes into some detail).
 * Came here to also say this. The Nation and other sources have pointed to Harrison as one of the key architects of climate denial greenwashing in the US. Viriditas (talk) 23:17, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
