Whisper Campaign
A whispering campaign is a method of persuasion in which damaging rumors or innuendo is spread about the target. The source of the rumors seeks to avoid being detected while spreading them. In open societies its mainly considered unethical, particularly in matters of public policy. The media has created an easier way to be able to succeed as well increase the public awareness. Whisper campaigns are defended in some circles as an efficient mechanism for underdogs who lack of other resources to attack the powerful. Many alcohol and tobacco companies use whisper campaigns to promote their products since the early 20th century.
