Fisker playing PR games with Karma?

Media manipulation?

AutoWeek's Dutch Mandel is calling out Fisker Automotive for fake spy shots of the Karma plug-in hybrid vehicle.

"As a media professional I am appalled, but perhaps I should not be. I suppose these La-La Land flakmeisters (and the obsequious, fawning, sycophant media with which they deal in the so-called star business) are used to spoon-fed, fabricated stories created to make their myriad celebrities look good. C'mon, guys: sending out Fisker "spy photos" is akin to having paparazzi on retainer and on call to "capture" your client flashing some genitalia."
