This question has to do with setting up a blog sponsored by one of my clients, of which would clearly be noted throughout the blog. My client wants to set up an interactive website similar to trumors.com in which topics would given on a weekly basis to discuss on any topic - including religion & politics. I have advised him that this is a PR nightmare for the company & that all blogs have a theme, unless the theme is to not have a theme, which would defeat the purpose for this company wanting to open itself up to public opinion in hopes to eventually lead to a sales increase. Please advise if there are opinions both ways, as I would never want to advise this company to do something which may end up in consumer backlash resulting from beginning blog converstations about topics which do not directly relate to this company - of which religion & politics would certainly be a few of those topics.
