Just read an interesting article on webb-site.com which I thought I would share.
The fictitious spokesman
The site is run by David Webb, a shareholder activist, a former investment banker and a recent independent director of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Michael_WebbOne of the tendencies of an unelected Government, as Hong Kong has, is to try to avoid public accountability, and to allow future deniability of its statements, by refusing to be quoted on the record. Never a day goes by without some anonymous Government person being quoted as a "source" or "an official".
