State propaganda front sends press releases out...

Freedom's "state sponsored propaganda" Watch (cute name though), the pretend grassroots organization is sending out more press releases and clogging up my email.
In the last 15 or so messages, the shills are still continuing to attack the The New York Times discount for MoveOn.org.

So I have finally decided to post one of their PRs, in both the propaganda and truthiness version. Below is their presser and my translation is in brackets:

Freedom's Watch President Bradley A. Blakeman <BUSH MOUTHPIECE> today released a statement thanking the Ombudsman of the New York Times <PRESSURING THE NEW YORK TIMES> who in a column today concluded that "MoveOn.org paid what is known in the newspaper industry as a stand by rate of $64,575.00 that it should not have received under New York Times policies <BECAUSE AMERICAN CITIZENS SHOULD BE CHARGED THE SAME AMOUNT AS THE STATE SPONSORED FRONT GROUPS FINANCIALLY SUPPORTED BY PARTY-CORPORATE INTERESTS>. The cost should have been $142,083.00." Freedom's Watch had sent a letter of inquiry to the Ombudsman <BECAUSE OUR ONE AND ONLY GOAL IS TO PRETEND TO WANT FAIRNESS IN THE MEDIA, AT LEAST THE CURRENT GOAL ANYWAY> after it learned of the discounted rate MoveOn.org received <HIRING MORE LACKEYS TO SNOOP AROUND AT THE BEHEST OF THE WHITE HOUSE>.

Blakeman continued <BUSH MOUTHPIECE>, "Freedom's Watch <STATE SPONSORED PROPAGANDA> has an ad about Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit <WHICH WE NEED TO EXPLOIT TO CONTINUE OUR PUSH TOWARD A FULL OUT WAR WITH IRAN> to Columbia University that we hope will run in tomorrow's edition of the Times <WE MIGHT HAVE PULLED OUT ADVERTISING DOLLARS HAD THE NEW YORK TIMES NOT CORRECTED THEIR BIG MISTAKE OF CHARGING THOSE DAMN AMERICANS A DISCOUNTED RATE>. We paid a stand by rate, unlike MoveOn.org <BECAUSE WE ARE FUNDED BY HALLIBURTON, AND OTHER CORPORATE-PARTY LOYALISTS WHO HAVE BILLIONS IN AD FUNDS> however, we have not received a guarantee that it will run on the date we requested." <OR WE WILL COME KNOCKING NYT AND BRING OUR PAID SHILLS IN THE BLOGOSPHERE WITH US>

Honestly, should the Freedom's propaganda not be labeled a political message with someone saying "I am so and so and I approve this message?" Will the New York Times run that disclaimer along with the White House talking points laundered through a front group? You know, we could play ad-libs with this. See below where I have inserted spaces and put in your own verb, noun, etc.

Freedom's Watch ----------- Noun --------- Bradley A. Blakeman today released a statement ------- verb (or present participle) -------- the Ombudsman of the New York Times who in a column today concluded that "MoveOn.org paid what is known in the newspaper industry as a stand by rate of $64,575.00 that it should not have received under New York Times policies. The cost should have been $142,083.00." Freedom's Watch had sent a -------- Noun -------- to the Ombudsman after it ------- transitive verb ------ of the discounted rate MoveOn.org received.

Come on then folks and give me something really interesting.
