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’m thinking that someone on the top wrote it and some low level staffer, was in charge of posting it and emailing it.
DOJ under Russo was supposed to have an office going that was to counter anti-obama stuff on the web.

Give with your heart and your smarts
Ruidoso News (NM) - Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Author: To the editor:
A disaster has struck Haiti, and many struggle with the best way to give. Generosity is good, but it’s better to be generous and smart.

Of course, most of the well-known charities have geared up to provide relief in Haiti of all sorts, including medical care, food and shelter, and I’ve provided a list of a few of those below. However, even in giving, it’s good to know where your money goes.

If you’re considering making a heartfelt donation to people in need, there are still factors to consider. For example, one would prefer to donate to an organization that had a presence in Haiti before the earthquake struck.

It’s best to donate to an organization large enough to make a substantial difference in this sad crisis, but not so large that your donation gets lost in the shuffle.

It only takes a few minutes to learn a bit about the charities you donate to, how accountable they are with their dollars, the percentage of your donation that goes to direct aid, and even the salaries of an aid organization’s CEOs.

Even in times of crisis, it’s good to donate with your brain attached. Below are links to two organizations that thoroughly research charities operating in the United States. Charity Navigator provides info about all aspects of a charity’s finances, and the Better Business Bureau Giving Alliance centers more on a charity’s financial transparency and accounting practices.

Yes, exactly. Sounds like a DNC memo that was circulated to various purveyors of their propaganda, with the assumption that no one would notice that the same arguments and terms were being recycled.

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).

Some papers accept letters-to-the-editor electronically so maybe, not so many stamps, envelopes, and printing were needed for this.

WHo owns these newspapers? I can remember years ago the owner of the paper in which my X worked sending out an editorial he wanted published in all the papers....He at least used his own name, but it did get published.

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.

"Ellie Light" is, in all liklihood Samantha Power -- who is Cass Sunstein's wife.

Cass Sunstein is the President's Information & Regulatory czar, responsible for monitoring the internet and forums like this one. She was an Obama staffer in 2005-06, was fired for calling Hillary a "monster", then re-hired after the election and assigned to the National Security Council!

All Mrs. Sunstein is doing is what he preaches -- infiltrate anti-government groups and manipulate their thinking.

Oh, and Mr. Sunstein is also rumored to be next in line for a Supreme Court appointment. He also believes that government should not recognize the institution of marriage, that animals have rights...but babies up to 2yrs old may be "aborted".

Speaking of a "monster"...

If you have time on your hands, or as a suggestion to other pajamas media detectives - if these letters were emailed you could probably shame the newspapers into turning over the email header info(they have to claim they were hoodwinked too)- the politico should have it too - this info would certainly help narrow the search for Ellie - me I’d start at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., WDC ... ;-)
