It's fake outrage and hate mongering. Goldman not only burned bridges among their own peers, but those on the fringe as well. Bloggers and independent journalists are going to think twice before getting in bed with Goldman. I’m with Sean. It’s fake outrage and hate mongering.

It's fake outrage. It may work in terms of raising his client's profile and selling tickets to the event but it's also a bridge burned that will make the PR firm less able to deliver success for other clients in the future. Just like no one really thought George Allen's Maccaca reference really harmed any Native Americans or, on the other side, that a Vice Presidential candidate who willing referred to herself as a barracuda and a pit bull was upset about being called a pig with lipstick, it's just scoring cheap points.

So he outed Dovi to save face. It sounds like Goldman was embarrassed for being mocked. So he outed Dovi to save face.
