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?

.....Ellie Light e-mailed, "A year ago, if we had read in the paper that employers were hiring again, that health care legislation was proceeding without a bump, that Afghanistan suddenly became a nice place to take your kids, we would have known we were being lied to. Back then, we recognized that the problems Obama inherited as president wouldn't go away overnight.

Ellie Light is apparently a ruse ad in the form of a letter to the editor planted in various newspapers in the hopes of resulting in an Internet goose chase. If you go to You Tube and enter Ellie Light up pops a video of a masked woman who tells you to go to a website called Bob’sBlitz.com. Here’s the link:

I’m a rank amateur, but I would say the opposite. If I were doing it, I would go out of my way to sign different names.

My wild guess is that this might be the work of ACORN or some such (or similar organization that employs uneducated people). They distribute a form letter and ask people to get it published wherever they can.

The sample letter had “Ellie Light.” Rather than substitute their own name or those of the Dallas Cowboys (you may recall an ACORN employee submitting fake voter registrations with the all the names of the Dallas Cowboys), they just leave it as “Ellie Light.”

If they leave it as “Ellie Light” then a coordinated effort is easier for the bosses to track.

any editor worth his/her salt will verify the name and address before printing.

Heck, I'm now retired from the business - kept my column tho' for many years before hanging that up too - and my editor will still call me and verify if I send a LTE.

Mostly, they will verify by phone book or registry to match name and address. but they don not just print, willy nilly - to avoid spam. They won't print from "anonymous" either.

If they printed without verification, they'd have to have separate mail sacks just to drag in the letters that people, who could hide behind anonymity, would send.

Newspapers aren't "in" on this...

War rooms and political PR firms hire people to "sound like everyday Americans" and they send out these letters. Sometimes they send the basic talking points to individuals and ask them to rewrite in their own words - but that was years ago.

My guess is they're better now. Long time ago I spoke with a person who expressed how thrilled they were with the internet because it made their job of "sounding everyday" so much easier.

Newspapers print what they feel is "representative" of their readers. The "fake letters" fit that model perfectly.

Ellie Lite = E.Lite. Isn’t that special?

Did she choose it accidentally? Or subconsciously?

Plus, it's easier to tell your friends in the press that any letter from "Ellie Light" is worth printing.
