Group alters front pages for political ad
Letter to Romenesko
From DAVID LARTER: Not sure how the Washington Post, New York Times, Oregonian and a bunch of other newspapers would feel about having their A1s doctored for a political video sponsored by some agenda group in DC called Free Market America.
From "If I Wanted America to Fail" video
Anyway, the funny thing about this video is it talks about bullying in DC and “regulations only lobbyists can understand” but a quick Google search reveals that “Free Market America” is really Americans for Limited Government, a think-tank of sorts out of Fairfax that spent nearly $100K to retain D.C. lobbying firm Aduston Consulting. Ironic.
This only comes up because the group’s video is posted on Drudge Report as if it were a link to a news story. It kind of makes me mad that they faked the A1s of so many newspapers. It’s misleading.
