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?
See post #63. There are more letters in smaller newspapers, etc., not in News Bank.
Hmmm... I don’t recall him winning Texas...
Cheers
... strangely enough, when I write a letter to the editor, the paper CALLS me and CONFIRMS I wrote it before it will publish it.
#####
In both Canada and the US when I have written letters to the editor, I also have been contacted to confirm that I was the writer.
GRRRRRREAT post! GRRRRRRREAT thread! Thanks to every poster on this thread.
Not only have you touched on the power of propaganda and the amplification of propaganda, you are uncovering the NETWORK of propagandists and their MO’s.
Not sure if this is on your list.
Here’s Ellie’s letter to the editor of the Benson County Farmers Press.
http://www.bensoncountynews.com/editorials.htm
1...Some reporter was sent to the re-education camp for questioning too closely the Great Leader.....the letter is his test paper to see if he needs another 6 months of "adjusting."
2....It gives the authorities a list of papers that don't publish the letter....so creating a new list of publishers, editors and reporters who will require extensive re-education in the future.
64.I think Ellie Light is a pseudonym used as a viral marketing tool in support of the president.
Viral marketing is defined as using exiting social networks to sell a product or an ideal. I would expand the definition to include the deliberate creation and marketing of a meme (a process clumsily called memering)as a way to introduce an ideal to the public, create a ground swell of “grass root” support and as a proof the president is pursuing a widely held belief in support of a public agenda.
In short, Manufactured Consent, or covert propaganda (as opposed to overt government missive).
The unanswered question is whether or not the dailies and periodicals conspire to publish Ellie Light’s letter to the editor.
One might reasonably notice that few of the volumes of letters written to newspapers are publish. One might even postulate the statistical odds of so many of one individual’s letter being published is so long that either Ellie Light is very lucky or some other mechanism is at work.
One even might consider such purported behavior as so deeply manipulative that the author of such actions should be considered untrustworthy at any level.

looked more like ted koppel
We’re on this thread also.
Just found that someone named Ellie Light posted yesterday on Ace of Spades Blog. A thread about Obama’s Town Hall In Ohio
3 It’s time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, and that a president can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything.

This kook is sounding more and more dangerous.....
Thank you, maggief.
I waited for you to check out the sources !!!
PING to maggief’s posting.
She checked it out and published tip from “anonymous”.
looking more and more like organized propaganda sent out by etiLeL. Has this material been sent to Rush, Dredge, Beck etc.? They might have the connections to trace the source.
Woo Hoo .. this brainwashed wacko has
attracted enough attention to now be
on Drudge ... keep it going.
Reveal this whole nest of vipers.
One should look at some of the buzz words in the letter(s); ie. “graveyard of empires,” “magic wand.”
