Ellie Lite: Individual? or Newspapers in Collusion?
Free Republic - GOD BLESS YOU - PLEASE DONATE!!!!! ^ | vanity | self

Posted on 01/23/2010 4:15:17 PM PST by Mr. K

Ellie Lite: (Elite?) Is this an individual letter writer claiming to be in different locations? Or are all the newspapers in collusion to print what is fed to them (by the white house?)

What are the odds of ONE person writing letters to all the news papers and having it selected by all of them?

Is this finally the smoking gun that shows newspapers are regurgitating white house spin?

Are they really proven once and for all to be an arm of the democrat party?

I think there is a bigger story here than the take presented so far- it is more than just letters sent by one individual with the same name - it is the newspapers themselves

We need some questions answered. How did ALL these newspapers happen to pick this same letter writer?

Or were they given a letter and told to print it?

I don’t think it’s a newspaper conspiracy. The conservative Washington Times is one of the hoodwinked papers.

If you don't get 'em fixed you'll end up neck-deep in the dang things.

It appears that Ellie Lite may very well be Cass Sunstein’s girlfriend and a White house employee. Apparently sunstein wrote the book on “cognitive infiltration”

Very interesting stuff in this thread.

Ellie Lite is most likely a 45 year old PC junkie who works in one of the DNC basements. The one’s where the employees aren’t really on record.

Glenn Greenwald

In 2008, while at Harvard Law School, Sunstein co-wrote a truly pernicious paper proposing that the U.S. Government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-”independent” advocates to “cognitively infiltrate” online groups and websites — as well as other activist groups — which advocate views that Sunstein deems “false conspiracy theories” about the Government. This would be designed to increase citizens’ faith in government officials and undermine the credibility of conspiracists. The paper’s abstract can be read, and the full paper downloaded, here.

Interesting theory. Plausible. It takes some expense to send letters to apparently hundreds of newspapers. Stamps, envelopes, printing, finding out the addresses of the newspapers (takes staff time). FR should compile a list of all the newspapers which printed the letter, if this is not done by intrepid journalists. Must determine the magnitude. I saw on other threads that a highly placed Obamaphile Samantha Power may have authored this letter. Wiki already has an “Ellie Lite” article. This brings to mind the “Cannuck letter” written in the Nixon White House by Chuck Colson as a dirty trick against rival Ed Muskie. We needs some good FReepers on this mystery. I hope Rahm or Ax wrote it (or even one of Michelle’s 22 highly paid elves).

Well, I'll answer as a retired reporter, editor, publisher, columnist.

If this were happening with regularity, involving several ‘individual’ writers, I'd be suspicious.

If just a case of one name with same letter popping up n several newspapers, I'd be more inclined to say ‘one writer who sent to several newspapers.’ (I've done that myself, to cover a wider readership.)

Newspapers, especially smaller ones, try to print all letters to the editor. And they do not consult with one another over the subject/author of the letters they get.

I would tend to say: don't use up energy on something like this unless it was obviously a concerted effort with several letters in several papers by several writers.

One writer does not a conspiracy make.

Ellie Lite (or Light, as I’ve also seen it) is a whole lot like the LTTE abbreviation I’ve seen for Letters To The Editor. Anyone else notice that? Maybe they were supposed to have different names to go with them, but some staffer didn’t notice?

Try to get just ONE Letter to the Editor published.

It is nearly impossible.

Funny how the Obama Administration gets 50 fake propaganda “letters” published?

One writer? This is a production ~ takes a mailing list, people willing to accept such a letter, etc.

Not a conspiracy exactly, but I could have pulled it off.

The "style" is remarkably similar to one of the members of the old Obama Truth Squad.
