The Rumsfeld Interview: Knowing Where You Are |
By: Doug Bedell |

In its highest and best sense, public relations is about building constructive relationships, or avoiding damaging ones, by recognizing and responding well to reality. The interview that National Public Radio recently aired with filmmaker Errol Morris over his attempts to "connect" with Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense under President George W. Bush, suggests a disappointing sense of relational savvy on Rumsfeld's part, one that makes Morris' new movie — The Unknown Known — well worth seeing by PR people.
