An article by Chris Parry:

Chris Parry, Vancouver Sun

Is it just my perception, or does it appear that Parry writes like he's been instructed to do astroturfing for Axelrod, inc.?

Has someone at FR done a piece yet regarding astroturfing as methodology of David Axelrod?

a million protesters is tepid and the economy is getting better??

Just the titles you posted have 2 huge lies, the article probably contains dozens.

obviously more wishing involved than journalism.
