Posted By pc25 8 months, 1 week ago in NewsLiberals have created a powerhouse propaganda machine that helped Moveon.org smear a four-star general, promotes endless environmental scares and brags it can place its left wing themes in the nation's leading newspapers.
Fenton Communications pitches for trial lawyers, collectively the largest contributors to the Democrat Party, as well as for the hard line environmental group Greenpeace; Venezuela's socialist leader Hugo Chavez; anti-war demonstrator Cindy Sheehan; and gay and abortion advocates.

Conservatives know liberals have built a powerful network of pressure groups who have entree -- where right wing groups do not -- into the newsrooms of the New York Times, Washington Post, NBC News and other left-leaning outlets........With offices in Washington, New York, and San Francisco, Fenton operatives work up smear campaigns whether the target is Gen. David Petraeus, Fox News' Sean Hannity or the conservative movement in general............
Fenton, as do other liberal strategy groups, has a big advantage over their conservative counterparts. When a Fenton executive pitches a story to the New York Times et al., they are treated as a credible source trying to expose corporate or political evil. When a right-leaning PR firm tries to float a story, the liberal news media makes them the story: the vast right wing conspiracy trying to destroy an innocent liberal.-

Faux noise, the most massive propaganda empire ever created by a foreign national Billionaire in America for the express purpose of creating a tax free haven for billionaires, and watched as the shining beacon for RACISM, hatemongering, right wing swiftboating, character assassination, ad hominem attack, and Goebbles level nonstop relentless propaganda for greed, not to mention the 100% for profit conservative and mostly republican zionist owned American Media, including Hollywood, Newspapers, TV News programming and editorial control, national magazines, music industry, ect.
It’s all corporate owned, all for profit. This media sells crap the stupidest market on the planet, the right wing white supremacist trailer trash faux noise watching walmart shopping morons who vote Caribu Barbie, Michelle Bachman, John Boehner, Mitch McConnel, and Virginia Homophobe Foxx.
What a bunch of lockstepping brown shirt idiots, only watching faux noise, building up this paranoid right wing brainwashed view of everything. You subhumans are incapable of reason, incapable of objective thought. You only see what you want to see. If you examined your bankrupt values for even a second, your house of cards would explode. As it is, the party of cons is shrinking down to the rotten core of paranoid racist psychopath paranoids.
If you con Caribu Barbie voting idiots were any stupider, you'd forget how to breathe.

"Fenton, MoveOn Form Democratic 'Tuesday Team'
Reply
Fenton Communications and client MoveOn.org announced today that the still unnamed "network" would use mainstream advertising executives to help produce advertising to help change the playing field this year.
Besides Mr. Cranin, the group named as initial members of the team Tor Myhren, chief creative officer of Grey New York; Ernest Lupinacci, a former Wieden & Kennedy and Anomaly creative who is head of Ernest Industries and a consultant for Google; Bennett McCarroll, Grey Advertising's senior VP-director of broadcast production; and Paul Christopher Hicks, until recently writer and creative director for Hasan and Partners in Helsinki (working for Nokia) and previously with McCann in San Francisco.
Fenton CEO David Fenton said more additions would be announced later. "We have felt for years that people in the commercial world would want to contribute to the environment and to electing progressive candidates. We decided to go out and put that to the test," he said.
At the moment, the team has no clear candidate to support.
So it will go after presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain. Mr. Fenton said the first ads to come out of the group will be aimed at McCain, "telling the truth about John McCain and his policies, some about McCain's reputation and his turnabout on bunch of positions as he panders to the right."
Unlike the members of Tuesday Team, who volunteered, members of the new team would receive nominal payments for ideas that get produced.
He said the team would work for a variety of causes, not just MoveOn.org. Fenton also handles public relations for Global Green; Friends of the Earth; Bono's One Campaign; Refugees International; and Human Rights Watch, among others.
"Right now, the idea is to help win the election and talk about issues on global warming and women's rights," he said, adding that the range of issues could be expanded upon later.
Mr. Cranin, currently a consultant, said he had always been interested in politics. "I've always been intrigued and drawn to this world because it [like advertising] depended on strategies," he said. "On the one hand I liked that political advertising is blunt and consistent, but it's also as miserable as anyone thinks it is." -

Keep it up, lets see how low your numbers can go, try to get the party of cons in the teens, and then poof, gone in a cloud of flatulence, only thing left would be the bouncing glowing bleeding cyst. Follow the bouncing bleeding cyst and sing after me cons:
Hup two three four, who do cons bend over for, Murdock, Oxy Limpballs, Michelle Bachman, Karl Rove, Dickenhawk Draftdodging Massmurdering Torturing Cheney, Virginia Homophobe Foxx, Roger Zionist RJC Ailes, AIPAC, Faux Noise.....
