Analysis of the 9/11 collapse video identifies a woman assisting Hillary Clinton as Christine Falvo, the Chief Operating Officer of the Rubenstein PR agency. Contrary to internet rumors that she was a neurological nurse, Falvo is a longtime Clinton aide and friend. The discussion highlights the connections of the Rubenstein agency to high-profile figures like Rupert Murdoch and Donald Trump, framing Falvo's presence as that of a concerned personal confidante rather than a medical professional.

The group Mayors Against Guns is revealed to be using the PR agency Vianovo, employing former DOJ official Matthew Miller to manage their media presence. Miller appears on news programs as an expert without always being disclosed as a paid spokesperson for the gun control advocacy group. The hosts highlight this as an example of "astroturfing" and coordinated media messaging.

An NPR story regarding a "Cheesepocalypse" or Velveeta shortage is deconstructed as a blatant example of native advertising. The hosts point out that the source of the story was Kraft's own Tumblr page, launched during "Advertiser Week." They estimate the value of such a four-minute "earned media" segment on national public radio to be between $50,000 and $150,000.

### Dr. Oz, Time Magazine, PR Puff Pieces

- **Published:** 2012-12-02
- **Time:** 30:26–34:31
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/466-give-peas-a-chance/chapter/dr-oz-time-magazine-pr-puff-pieces.md

An op-ed in Time Magazine by Dr. Oz titled "Give Frozen Peas a Chance" is exposed as a likely PR-generated puff piece. Identical text and photos appeared simultaneously under the byline of a "Dr. Nagual" on Newsvine. The articles, which defend industrial beef and frozen foods, contain word-for-word identical personal anecdotes about living in a vegetarian household, suggesting neither doctor actually wrote the content.
