I would hope he is not just attempting to be honest...but you do have a point. Perhaps he should not be giving select folks updates and just commo through PRs or if not material just through a periodic memo on the website. This way the informal stuff is in his own words and won't cost money like a fluff PR would...
More and more CEO's are starting to 'blog' on facebook, maybe Jordan could do the same, give updates that don't cost money to pr that way everyone can be happy. Just a thought, (do it, don't do it), either way I'm stayin around:)
