Nat'l Press Club


renta backdrop for PR fuckery?

The Swift Boat Veterans were unveiled at National Press Club event on May 4 that year. By late June, PFA was not only up and running but had launched ads in some key states. And a handful of well-funded Democratic third-party groups had already spent tens of millions of dollars at that point hammering Bush and the GOP.

In a massive public relations stunt, No Labels, the dark-money group funded by Harlan Crow—the collector of Nazi memorabilia and funder of Clarence Thomas's extravagant lifestyle—on Thursday announced that it filed a complaint with the Justice Department, accusing MoveOn of criminal harassment, extortion, and "unlawful conspiracy" under RICO—the law often used to prosecute organized crime.1,2WHAT?!

Yes, they did.

MoveOn has been working for more than a year to expose the billionaire-backed group's dangerous and deceptive third-party presidential campaign that threatens to reinstall Donald Trump in the White House. And we have no plans to stop now. We will not succumb to their scare tactics—even if it means having to take on substantial legal costs to defend our organization.

But, Padraig, we need your help to fight these baseless, politically motivated allegations. We weren't expecting the legal costs, which add up very fast, particularly in an election year where we're all-in to defeat Trump and stop his fascist plans before it's too late.

The complaint was filed by No Labels—a dark-money operation that has committed an eye-popping $70 million to put a spoiler third-party candidate on the ballot in 2024 that would siphon votes away from President Biden and tip the election to Trump.3

MoveOn has worked in partnership with pro-democracy organizations and leaders to raise awareness about No Labels' right-wing plot. Our work has included sending a letter to every secretary of state and election board in America asking them to investigate No Labels after the Maine secretary of state told No Labels to "cease and desist" for lying to voters.4

The group is already on the ballot in 14 states and is aiming to get on the ballot in 13 additional states—many of them battleground states that President Biden won narrowly in 2020.5

Now, No Labels is playing dirty.

On Thursday, in a high-profile news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., they announced their complaint, which asks the Justice Department to criminally investigate MoveOn.6,7

It's clear our work to sound the alarm on their dangerous plan is working. Why else would they stoop to Trumpian tactics designed to drain our coffers with legal fees and shut us up? Our takeaway: We need to double down on our efforts to expose and stop No Labels.

Disguising themselves as a group of "moderates," No Labels has refused to disclose their deep-pocketed donors, but some information has gotten out, including that their donors include Harlan Crow, Rupert Murdoch, and billionaire investor Nelson Peltz, a major Trump backer.8,9

With far-right donors, it comes as no surprise that No Labels plans to win two-thirds of their Electoral College votes in states that President Biden won in 2020—blocking President Biden's path to reelection.10

Plain and simple, there is no path to victory for their candidate, who has yet to be announced, though West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is the person they talk about the most.11 Instead, their strategy would rob President Biden of a second term and ensure a Trump victory.

AN 4 25

When the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) was founded back in 1914 during Democrat Woodrow Wilson's presidency, the idea was to have an organization of journalists who covered the White House but were independent of it. Seven years later, the WHCA's annual dinner was founded, and the first president who attended was Republican Calvin Coolidge in 1924.

After that, every U.S. president from Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama attended the dinner — until Donald Trump became the first exception.

:{:{In a biting op-ed published by The Hill on April 25, veteran journalist Owen Ullmann argues that the dinner and the WHCA shouldn't honor Trump in light of his disdain for the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment:}:

"Now is the time to stop breaking bread with the Trump Administration, starting with tomorrow's White House Correspondents Association dinner," Ullmann writes. "Trump and his administration's acolytes have made clear they have no respect for the First Amendment, traditional news media, fair reporting or the truth these organizations reveal to the American public. Trump, the first president to skip the dinner during his first term, previously labeled mainstream media 'the enemy of the people,' and in February, started barring the Associated Press from attending some White House events, because its influential style book would not officially rename the Gulf of Mexico the 'Gulf of America,' as Trump insists it be called."

The Trump Administration, Ullmann laments, is "borrowing a tactic used by authoritarian leaders in other countries" when it gives preference to "friendly" reporters at the White House.

"In another chilling move against free speech," Ullmann observes, "the (Trump) Administration has detained and is deporting foreign nationals who are in the U.S. legally because it doesn't like their views in support of Palestinians in Gaza or other causes that displease the Trump crowd. In view of such behavior, the White House Correspondents Association would mock the very reason it was established, were it to hold the dinner this spring with Trump enablers in attendance — even if Trump himself boycotts the event again."

NPF expanded to offer training programs on other topics around the United States, as well as internationally. During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, NPF began offering its training online.

The president and COO is Sonni Efron.[6] The chairman of the board is Donna Leinwand Leger. Past presidents of NPF include Sandy K. Johnson, Bob Meyers, Robert Alden, Frank Aukofer, Joseph Slevin, and David Yount, all former journalists.

For his expert opinion, Coursey was able to supplement his university salary handsomely. In his deposition, Coursey said that Syngenta’s PR firm paid him $500 an hour and gave him $50 an hour for a research assistant over three to four years. His reports relied on data supplied by Syngenta, he said, adding that he had an office at the public relations firm. He submitted his work to both Jayne Thompson and Syngenta for editing.

Coursey said the PR agency also paid him $500 an hour to meet with newspaper editors and radio talk show hosts, and to make a presentation to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
