Cyndy Brucato recently returned as a news anchor on Minneapolis-St Paul's ABC affiliate - after nearly two decades of doing PR. "Brucato spun professionally for the likes of the Minnesota House Republican Caucus, the tobacco company Brown & Williamson, the pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly [3], and Koch Industries [4]." She "remains the owner of a public relations [5] firm - Brucato and Halliday - [but] says she is no longer involved in the day-to-day operations." Since her return, "KSTP aired one of its more peculiar offerings: a soft-focus feature about a suburban couple who were upset that Planned Parenthood [6] is selling T-shirts emblazoned with the words, 'I had an abortion.' The story [was] apparently plucked from the Drudge Report [7]."
