It's not her fault to believe that what she's directed to say is what she should say, it is her fault for taking it for granted that those things are true and take her stance in the matter accordingly (yet, as we all know, inappropriately). When she expresses ideas on her own accord, this shows.
The difference between a conducted PR action and that of her own? It's the difference between making an official thread and maintaining that thread.
Unless, of course, she was strictly instructed to say only the things that would come off to everyone as absolute truth from the company, then there's not much to do there.
I think the combination of the bolded parts is probably closer to the truth. She's shown her rather limited knowledge of this game - so the idea that she takes what she's been told for granted is probably true. You would think that, as a PR, she should/would take things into her own hands and find out what's really true and act accordingly...but if she is to keep her job and maintain "peace," she would have to assert a certain public credibility/confidence face for the company itself based on certain strict rules. If that is the case, then what's the point in finding out the truth for herself? She wouldn't really be allowed to act on it...
I've been around since 2005...and I've seen Hime's posts from when Nexon forums first started (she even perma-banned me from the forums). They've certainly changed over the years to be more light-hearted and seem more welcoming, but the same strict tell-what-we-want-them-to-believe feeling is still there.
