The reviews are in on George Stephanopoulos’ interview with (then) Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, or at least this one from Forbes. It’s by Fraser Seitel, a long-time communications practitioner, who writes about Wilson’s “public relations victory” in sitting down with George.

Wilson’s appearance highlights the tensions between lawyers and PR people, in favor of PR. The interview came the day after a grand jury decided not to indict the (now former) officer, but he’s still being investigated by the Justice Department and facing civil suits.
