Mushroom Method
1. a public relations strategy frequently used by government agencies, corporations and law enforcement officials. it means “feed them manure and keep them in the dark.”
the goal is to delay any public disclosure of information as long as possible by releasing half-truths, distortions and useless information to the media.
origin of the metaphor: farmers use manure, millet and recycled wood chips to grow mushrooms in dark, steamy rooms. hence, “feed them manure and keep them in the dark.”
detective: “that reporter from the news-tribune keeps calling me about our runaway child case. what should i do?”
police chief: “try the mushroom method. he’ll lose interest after a few days and move on to something else. i’ve seen it work a million times.”
