Yes Man Legitimately Interviewed On TV After Fake PresserVisit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Two days ago, the "culture jammers" known as the Yes Men pulled off a stunt that requires some knowledge the PR business by uploading a bogus press release, and staging a press conference posing as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

However, Yes Men's Mike Bonanno didn't fare as well against Dylan Ratigan on MSNBC in a regular interview. Ratigan occupies pro-corporation with regulation position, "we all work for corporations."
