I am having so much fun!!! I've just written to all the columnists at the Chicago SunTimes and told them that Terry McAuliffe sent me an e-mail telling me to write to them and to tell them that Kerry won tonight! On to the Chicago Tribune columnists.
Excellent. I hear the Trib printed a[nother] hit piece on Bush. You can count on Chicago to pimp for Kerry.
EXcellent!!!! Very creative. YOU'RE HIRED ;-)
Unfortunately, as we found out earlier in the year, fake letters to the editor dont work and frequently "come out in the wash," further hurting the cause later. Remember those letters home from soldier in Iraq that were shown to be clumsy mass produced forgeries? Journalists are still reminding people of them ... from The New York Times and Frank Rich (= http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/17/arts/17rich.html =)
"The path of the Bush White House as it has moved from Agnew-style press baiting to outright assault has also followed its antecedent. The Nixon administration's first legal attack on the press, a year before the Watergate break-in, was its attempt to stop The Times and The Washington Post from publishing the Pentagon Papers, the leaked internal Defense Department history of our failure in Vietnam. Though 9/11 prompted Ari Fleischer's first effort to warn the media to "watch what they say," it's failure in Iraq that has pushed the Bush administration over the edge. It was when Operation Iraqi Freedom was bogged down early on that it spun the fictional saga of Jessica Lynch. It's when the percentage of Americans who felt it was worth going to war in Iraq fell to 50 percent in the Sept. 2003 Gallup poll, down from 73 that April, that identically worded letters "signed" by different soldiers mysteriously materialized in 11 American newspapers, testifying that security for Iraq's citizens had been "largely restored." (As David Greenberg writes in his invaluable "Nixon's Shadow," phony letters to news outlets were also a favorite Nixon tactic.) The legal harassment of the press, like the Republican party's Web-driven efforts to discredit specific journalists even at non-CBS networks, has escalated in direct ratio to the war's decline in support."
