Over nearly three decades, Nick leads Pyle & Associates’ representation of some of the world’s largest food and metal companies as well as a national wholesale bakers trade association in government relations.”</font></p></blockquote><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">For our purposes today, the key phrases therein are “issue advocacy” and “a national wholesale bakers trade association.” The latter is the IBA. In what types of “issue advocacy” is Pyle engaged on behalf of the IBA?</font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Well, just one kind and type, actually. Pyle – or someone for Pyle – penned a single, solitary editorial. Which was then copied and pasted with appropriate, pertinent Congressman or Senator name changes, over and over and over again. Into email after email after email. And then submitted to newspaper after newspaper after newspaper.</font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">A brief, important aside: I buy groceries by writing for publications. What is almost a universal truth of the publication industry is the fact that just about every outlet wants exclusivity on what you submit. Meaning what you publish with them publishes only with them.</font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">So how did Pyle get away with running the exact same editorial in <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">forty-six</em></strong> different newspapers? Yes, they are mostly local papers, but <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">come on</em></strong>. This is the Age of the Internet. All forty-six are available online. After, I don’t know, two dozen publishes, wouldn’t the subsequent “news”papers have executed a cursory Web search and rejected their versions of the exact same editorial?</font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">You’d have to ask the newspapers if they searched. And if they didn’t, why they didn’t. And if they did, why they run the exact same thing over and over and <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">over</em></strong> again. I can’t tell you what they were thinking (well, I can guess). I can’t think like a Leftist. When I try – my head hurts.</font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">I can tell you that this overt rote repetition – duplicated time and again in the direction of elected official after elected official – creates a faux cacophony for Pyle’s fake messaging campaign. Our elected officials will talk with one another, and one may mention getting yelled at in their local paper about this fake campaign. Another responds “Gee, me too.” A third chimes in with “Wow, me too.”</font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The chances are pretty slim that these officials will check each other’s editorials – and thereby realize they are all being targeted by the exact same editorial from the exact same person. The chances are pretty good that it will leave all these officials with the false impression that this nonsense non-campaign is an actual campaign, with broad nationwide support.</font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">So you all see how this phoniness works. Here’s hoping our elected officials do too.</font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">[Originally Published at <a href="https://www.redstate.com/setonmotley/2018/01/23/left%E2%80%99s-latest-copy-paste-fake-grassroots-campaign/" style="text-decoration-line: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">RedState</a>]</font></strong></p></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></font></div></div></div></div></div></div>
