The Marxists will continue doing this until they are run out of the country!!!!!
Didnt the dnc invent astroturfing.,, to try an keep up with the Tea Party.
At least the idiots didn’t protest the appointment of “XX”.
Those Rooskies again!
Bill Clinton has a history with astroturf.
The late Fred Thompson’s campaign website had a gizmo where you could write a Letter to the Editor and check-off hundreds of media outlets to send it to. Worked like a charm.
How many people actually read the newspaper anymore, let alone the letters to the editor.
I would bet the average age of newspaper readers is at least 70. The future does not bode well for the business model.
Collusion. Thanks Sub-Driver.
Moose and Squirrel are being led by handlers through fan mail from some flounder.
I haven’t read a complete newspaper in probably five years. Free Republic is my primary news source and I can read hundreds of articles that I otherwise would not have access to if it was print media.
That only applies to conservatives. Don’t ya know!
Boris Badenov: 'Look, it's his show. If he wants to be hard to kill, let him.'
Probably many don’t know how this works. I know it because my friend was involved. Ok a lobbyist group has a certain agenda they want infused into the public psyche. They then go and hire a marketing company, which then hires a sleazier company ( to launder the trail) which then has groups of writers that they either send a general transcript of the issue to and they re write it with key points mentioned in the letter to the editor. This is done on a timed basis. The editors know this and also get kick backs from the marketing company to publish said letters. This way it appears that “ EVERYONE IS CONCERNED about issue xx” Its particularly used as pseudo evidence cited by politician that want to push a political position counter to their constituents. They hold up their local papers and say see??? look at what our people are concerned with, i must take courage and act in the best interest of...... (special interest) You see its all a racket. Its also done in movies and TV shows. In the trades there are special “ contests that are announced, Lets say $400,000 prize “for the best scene that covers women’s right to choose in a positive light,etc, that will be broadcast between the dates of XX weeks. Well as the producer you know exactly when said episodes will air because you know the times because you have pre arrange the contract with the network for air dates. So you walk into your writers room and say “ Hey write me a scene in episode 19 that covers x and x” The writers know whats going on. They write what they are told. This way you have lets say 5-8 different shows submitting entrance for the prize money( but appearing a mere innocent coincidence....) all talking about a specific political topic during the same week.... and which week is that? OHHHHH it is the week chosen by the lobbyist group because they know 6 months ahead of time that bill will be up for debate on that specific week. SEEEEE its industrialized propaganda but on the corporate and political level. THAT is how they do what they do.
Soros can still target the over 70 crowd. Some of them rooted for Jerry Brown over McGovern and went to the Human Be-In to see Timothy Leary and Allen Ginsberg. Now they are over 70 and leftover hippies still watching for the dawn of socialism to unite the working class. Their love beads vibrate at the thought.
And the DM makes sure that another ?? million see it as well - FOOLS.
Let’s hope so. I want to see Warren Buffet lose on his newspaper bets.
I take a free one when they’re hawking subscriptions outside of Sam’s and tell them I cancelled because the liberal bias.
