Forbes editor calls for ‘reckoning,’ warns businesses not to hire Trump’s press secretaries

Randall Lane, the editor of Forbes magazine, issued a warning to businesses this week that they should avoid hiring any press secretaries that served in the Trump White House, claiming that doing so will make their companies instantly untrustworthy and subject to heightened journalistic scrutiny.

Writing at Forbes, Lane called for a “truth reckoning,” something he said would help with “reinvigorating democracy” after the Trump administration ends.

“As American democracy rebounds, we need to return to a standard of truth when it comes to how the government communicates with the governed,” Lane argued. “The easiest way to do that, from where I sit, is to create repercussions for those who don’t follow the civic norms.”

Calling Trump’s press secretaries “chronic liars,” Lane wrote: “Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists … and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie.”

  1. Stupid move; leaves himself and his employer wide open to interference charge. Interesting factoid about the company now actually owned by Chicoms Subscribed for several decades, when it was worth reading.
