How else were they going to gain publicity for a show no one is going to care about.

Max has done it again!!

Well everyone’s talking about Naomi Robson (and Max Markson)…and I hadn’t heard peep from/about them in quite a while. Mission accomplished.

What a pathetic attempt to retrieve himself from the whole he has dug…but great to see some comeuppance…

Caught out here Mr Markson…fudging…exposed…again…

The truth will be told in new media because, we the ordinary people you try to “doctor”, now control the medium and the content, and thats the truth and you can’t handle it!

Code Red – don’t do that! I love that movie too much.

The claim ‘I was just doing my job’ sounds a lot like the movie a “A few Good Men”.
Maybe the fictional script could read as follows:

Mumbrella – “Naomi – did you order the code red?”
Naomi – ” You bet I ordered the code red”

Mumbrella – “Agent Santiago Markson – were you just following orders?”
Markson – ” Yes, we just followed the orders – I did nothing wrong”

Problem for Max is that – if he were doing his job, he would give advice to his client not to amend content on wikipedia.

And what Max should have said to his client was ….”Naomi…..(with despise) You can’t handle the truth”

With all that editing you think Max would have at least got a nice glossy, back lit, air brushed pic of his bimbo client on the site. Remember Maxy, a picture is worth a thousand swear words.

Why anyone would want a career in PR with examples like this is beyond me…

Have to agree with above-Naomi Robson is NOT a journalist- just a presenter , that no likes. Plus she has been associated with drug dealers , had the makeup caravan , the shonky lizard on the arm incident and swearing like a madwoman on tv and radio…Hmmmm Max, maybe put your energy into someone else…

Problem is, the content wasn’t libellous because Wikipedia was and is just quoting other sources. Is the “libellous” part more spin?

What sort of publicist couldn’t even add a photo to his client’s profile?

Max Markson has more than an uphill battle trying to market a product nobody wants or needs! Naomi Robson just doesn’t come across as a likeable personality and “niceness” is something that you just can’t really fake. Some of the things she said and did on TV (check out Youtube) showed questionable journalistic judgement and just plain bad taste – hence the reason she was the butt of so many jokes on The Chaser, etc. So Max, just what does Naomi have to offer us that we don’t already have in more appealing on-air female journalist presenters ???????

Robson might be upset that it exists, but they aren’t lies, perhaps she should be upset at her own existence?

>Ironically, Robson’s Wikipedia profile now also contains the story of the edit war.

And Markson should have known this, and maybe he did and is double-bluffing: any publicity is good publicity?

Especially for someone like this that I’ve certainly never heard of before.
