Edelman Flunks Diplomacy: In a snippy article about the PR Week awards, the New York Observer's Jason Horowitz quotes Richard Edelman on his favorite subject: the changing trust landscape, the decline of the mainstream media, the rise of the blogosphere and its transformative impact on our business.

One of the things I like about Richard is that he's never learned when to be diplomatic--which is why Edelman is pretty much the only big PR firm with a personality. The other thing I like about him is, he's right more often than he's wrong.
