Identical, Bush-backing Editorials Appear Nationwide |
What do these newspaper editorials have in common?

etc. etc.
All of them are unsigned editorials, which makes it look like they're
original opinion pieces for each paper. (The Colorado Gazette even
says it's "our view.")
And they all happen to say exactly the same thing, beginning with this
paragraph:
"One of the smartest things President Bush did to reduce recovery
costs in the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita was to suspend
Davis-Bacon Act rules in the hardest hit states. But Congress is
frantically trying to overrule the president, which would add billions
of dollars to the already staggering recovery costs."
All the papers involved are owned by Freedom Communications, Inc.
(although, oddly enough, they all list different owners on their
websites, with variations on the "Freedom" theme). It's still a no-no
for papers to run these as if they're house editorials -- and
therefore somehow the result of a spontaneous convergence of editorial
opinion across the country, as opposed to just being a reprint.

Didn't they get caught doing this already, except that it was a
"letter writing" campaign or somesuch fraud? And I ain't talking
about Talibon, uh, Talon news.

The "Ministry of Truth" is hard at work. It's a good thing the Proles buy
into the propaganda. Where would we be without Big Brother?

Please cite one example of identical Democratic "editorials" appearing in
numerous newspapers. Republicans control virtually all major media. That's
why they all slant right. Of course you rightards are so simple minded you
parrot the "liberal media" propaganda line. To you War is Peace, Ignorance
is Strength, and Hate is Love. You are rats on a treadmill and you don't
even realize it.
