Since when does a "conversation" become a "pitch"? Easy for The Palm Beach Post

The public in Lake Worth wants more answers and has more questions for Hudson Holdings. The public at a recent city commission meeting demanded more public input. So, the people at Hudson Holdings said, "OK, we'll do that." They scheduled the event below for the public:

The Palm Beach Post reporter Kevin Thompson took a different take on this meeting. He calls it a "pitch". 

Here is the definition of a sales "pitch":

Note that in a "pitch" the audience doesn't participate. They are required to listen and not ask questions during the 'pitch'. Here is the definition of a 'pitch':

A line of talk that attempts to persuade someone of something, as in "Let's hear your latest sales pitch for energy conservation." This term uses the noun pitch in the sense of “a talk,” or more literally, a throwing of words at one.

Here are some of the words from the graphic produced by Hudson Holdings:

• Conversation
• Discuss
• Concerns 
• Ideas
• Collaboration
• Together
• Courteous
• Options
• Opportunities
• Participation

This meeting on Monday IS NOT A PITCH. The word 'pitch' used here is an example of spin (propaganda). As documented on this blog on many occasions the Casino/pool complex has problems that have to be fixed. Neither the City, the public, or Hudson Holdings is treated fairly when a public meeting is misrepresented in the county's paper of record.
