I think PATH's propaganda machine is also a remnant of the disco-era. Are the Charles Ryan Associates guys really sitting around in powder blue leisure suits as one of our readers recently posited?
As a precursor to their recently released "disco-era grid" campaign, someone had the bright idea to pave the way with Letters to the Editor from their astro-turf spokesmodel. (Don't even get me started on the "quality" of this video!) As usual, West Virginians for Reliable Power or Energy or whatever name we're "just using" this week harvests select facts from their source reference in order to make it look like "experts agree". Looks like they didn't bother to read the Journal's letters policy before submitting and were abruptly cut off at the end of Vineyard's diatribe, which really makes her look like an idiot (not that it appears she needed much help in the first place). Fear mongering, it's what's for dinner!
StopPATH WV member Steven Smith wrote and submitted this Letter to the Editor at the end of August, well before PATH's new ad campaign started. Because of the Journal's lag-time in publishing (approximately 10 days to 2 weeks) it finally showed up today. Looks like Smith had PATH's "disco-era grid" dis-information campaign slayed before it even drew breath.
StopPATH WV - quicker, smarter and now... with psychic powers too! Put that in your leisure suit and dance!
