Mystery as IDENTICAL letters appear in 21 newspapers across 12 states slamming Trump's Supreme Court pick – and they're all signed by different people
At least 21 U.S. newspapers ran identical letters to the editor opposing President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh this week
Each letter was published with the name of a different 'signer,' claiming Kavanaugh threatens 'everything that we hold dear as a nation'
Technique is known as 'astroturfing'; it's unclear who's behind it
One editor says the woman who appeared to have emailed him the letter now denies ever sending it
Three prominent liberal advocacy groups that oppose Kavanaugh's nomination have all denied involvement in the campaign.
The White House is shrugging off the technique, whose history includes similar campaigns from the Republican Party and the liberal MoveOn.org

Judge Brett Kavanaugh is going into the Supreme Court confirmation process with a hail of rhetorical arrows zinging by him, including a phony letter-writing campaign aimed at unsuspecting American newspaper editors
At least 21 papers were duped last week, including big-market brands like the Dallas Morning News and The Washington Times. They ran identical letters over a four-day period, each signed by a different person.
The effort is an example of public-relations 'astroturfing,' a technique meant to simulate genuine grassroots support for an idea or cause.
The form letter is one small piece of the message minefield erupting around Kavanaugh as he prepares for a brutal confirmation process that will end with scant support from Democrats.

(proving once again) The media is the deep state.

I know it’s not Skakespeare, but I’m thinking 1000 monkeys typing on a 1000 typewriters for the lifetime of the universe did this.
Will this be reported in any of the 21 newspapers?
Yes. David Brock.
And done by a DemoKKKrat.
Well, more like a PR firm (after the war room has done the writing) then they're sent to shills in different STATES and the people are told to modify the letters and personalize them. They are NOT suppose to send them in 'as is'.
The usual way to spot fake letters is to look for inconsistent writing styles.
Fake letters are also sent to our Republican Representatives... sent as if they're from a constituents... Some of the fakes are even registered as Republican. This stuff has been going on for years...

There's a good chance letters in other states will be done RIGHT - same message, but personalized. We should look for those too.

I guess that only applies to the right wingers/deplorables and not to the favored opinion groups...
And of course UK news had to report this.
Living in the DC area, I had the VA Senate commercial memorized, and when I went to North Dakota, I just about flipped out when I saw they were using the same commercial - must have been market tested prior to release.
