Anatomy Of A PR Spin (AKA How To Lie Like A Pro)

How do you know when a Facebook PR person is lying? When their lips move (or they issue a statement!) ba-dum ching!

We've been taking a beating today on our story about Facebook working on a branded mobile phone. Just like last year with the Google Phone, lots of people threw tantrums about how we made the story up right up until Google launched their own branded phone, the Nexus One.

And that's what's happening today, due in no small part to Facebook PR issuing what looks like a blanket denial of the story this morning. "The story is not accurate!"
