Bush Letters to the Editor

Here is something pretty intense that I found on the Daily Koz blog. Apparently the Bush campaign coordinates a "letter to the editor" campaign to get their message out. The campaign posts talking points on their web site, and then these talking points show up on the editorial pages of newspapers in one form or another.

For example, one of the talking points says: "New job figures and other recent economic data show that America's economy is strong and getting stronger - and that the President's jobs and growth plan is working. The Labor Department announced that employers added 288,000 new jobs in April. In total, over 1.1 million jobs have been added since August, with 8 consecutive months of gains." A Google search shows this talking point showing up on the editorial pages of over 60 newspapers.
