All of the “press” mentioned Scientology somewhere in the text, which stays on the internet forever. All of the articles pretty much say the same thing as the above selections, and all are bad press for the Co$ and Scientology.

[mefree]

Hat tip to you, aegerprimo!

 

[ethercat]

Yay!  Thanks aegerprimo!  Just one little thing:

This one is a promo by Narconon Arrowhead, though I guess it is bad press if only in the sense that it contains their lies:

Narconon Arrowhead Launches Wellness Campaign for National Fitness and Sports Month
hxxp://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwfitness/article/Narconon-Arrowhead-Launches-Wellness-Campaign-for-National-Fitness-and-Sports-Month-20140421#.U1W980nD-M8

Want me to edit it out for you?

[aegerprimo]

@ethercat

Yes please! Edit it OUT of the list because it is not bad press for the Co$.... and goes with the press that shows up in searches on prwed.com about Scientology (and front groups), for example. I always scan the articles I include in this lists I post on this thread, but I missed this one as bad press.

GOOD EYE! Thank you ethercat.

[ethercat]

Ok, it's done, aegerprimo.
