About a month ago – Breitbart.com threatened that they
were going to do an expose on NCSL and ALEC.
Before their dimwits could get their project off the ground – their
faulty assumptions regarding ALEC and NCSL were countered by
Media matters
Center for Media
and Democracy
BOTH articles show
there IS NO COMPARISON between NCSL and ALEC,
American Legislative
Exchange Council (ALEC) is nefarious – NCSL
IS NOT.
Well these folks – just are not quitting.
Evidently the right-wing is having a hard time understanding
words that are not monosyllabic.
They are still trying to convince the public that NCSL is
a nasty organization.
The unfortunate truth for the right wing is – there is
nothing more nasty than the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
ALEC’s NEW PROPAGANDA STRATEGY
ALEC has started a new tactic that most who don’t
research ALEC would not be aware of.
Over the past three weeks – they are doing most of their
propaganda over the airwaves and mostly on TV.
So anyway – it appears the ALEC’s new PR firm, Edelman, has started a new strategy for ALEC – TV and
radio.
First ALEC was on the CBS Saturday nightl news, then
there is a ½ hour piece running on PBS and now you have this latest installment
that is being picked up today, nationwide for rebroadcast.
We’re going to have to find a better way to investigate and
find these, cause they are more difficult to find.
AND we need to expose every single one of these new
ALEC pieces of propaganda –
– we need to write about the fallacies that are being spread by ALEC
right wing media
– we need to write about the one-sided (extremist right-wing) reporting
techniques being used
Because all this is being sent across our publicly owned
airwaves.
“publicly owned airwaves” – OUR COMMONS being used to
destroy democracy in the US.
Here’s the latest 47 second example.
Neither Mr. Henderson nor the John Locke Foundation are
impartial bystanders.
They are both right wing extremists.
(Had
to put that in because the right wing is always pointing that out about
activists on the left.)
The biography of this “personality” on the video YouTube page
is:
Rick Henderson, Carolina Journal
managing editor, contrasts two groups that work with state legislators across
the nation: the American Legislative Exchange Council and the National
Conference of State Legislatures. Henderson offered these comments during an
interview with Donna Martinez for Carolina Journal Radio
(CarolinaJournalRadio.com) Program No. 480. Video courtesy of CarolinaJournal.tv.
In addition to this you have this part of Mr. Henderson’s
bio from LinkedIn

On the YouTube bio – they intentionally do not mention
that this little piece of broadcasting is done by
The John Locke Foundation.
About the John Locke Foundation
JLF’s Vision
The John Locke Foundation
envisions a North Carolina of responsible citizens, strong families, and
successful communities committed to individual liberty and limited,
constitutional government.
This is their attempt to make this look like mainstream reporting
– rather than propaganda from the extreme right.
Another piece of info from the John Locke Foundation:
Daren Bakst, Esq.,
is Director of Legal and Regulatory Studies
for the John Locke Foundation … Bakst serves on the Federalist Society's
Administrative Law and Regulation Executive Committee and as a member of the
Energy, Environment, and Agriculture Task Force of the American Legislative
Exchange Council.
Prior to joining the Locke
Foundation, Bakst was Policy Counsel for the National Legal Center for the
Public Interest, a Washington, D. C., think tank that focused primarily on
business regulation.
Another webpage notes that Bakst is:
a member of the American
Legislative Exchange Council's Natural Resources Task Force.
Back to the start:
There IS NO
COMPARISON between NCSL and ALEC,
American Legislative
Exchange Council (ALEC) is nefarious – NCSL IS NOT.
You can drop it
now – monosyllabic right wingers.
