Jerusalem Post Will Stop Sending Out Rudy's Fundraising Mail

Okay, it looks as if the right-wing Jerusalem Post has decided to stop its bizarre practice of sending out Rudy Giuliani's fundraising mail under the paper's name. Or so the paper has just announced in an email to readers, anyway.

To recap: The other day we reported that Rudy's campaign had sent out a fundraising pitch to readers of the Post. Rudy's pitch attacked Democrats as terrorist-coddlers who couldn't be trusted to defend Israel.

As we noted, what was odd about the pitch was that the sender was identified as The Post, and not as the campaign.

The effect was that it wasn't immediately clear who was raising the money, though it was made clear in the letter itself that the pitch was being made by the Rudy campaign. What's more, the fundraising request appeared at first glance to bear the support of the newspaper.

Well, now the Jerusalem Post has just sent out a new email telling readers that this practice will stop.

Here's The Post's message, which was forwarded to us by a number of TPM Readers:

Clarification:

In recent days, registered users of jpost.com have received a paid email advertisement for Rudy Giuliani.

The bottom of this email advertisement stated that it was "Paid for by the Rudy Giuliani Presidential Committee, Inc." However, correct practice is to mark such emails as advertising in the "Subject" box as well. Because of an internal error, this practice was not followed. We have taken steps to insure that it will be in future.

We would like to stress again that the content of this advertisement has no connection to The Jerusalem Post newspaper or its online content, and does not reflect the editorial views of The Jerusalem Post in any way.

Okay, not Watergate. But still -- Election Central gets results!

Sure it doesn't. They had to stop once they got caught.

This still doesn't answer why the JP is sending out advertising for 3rd parties under its name. This is a big step from just renting out a mailing list, and, on the face of it, grossly unethical. The Post is in essence using its name to, yes, endorse a candidate. Do they do this with other products too? If they send out an email ad FROM THE JP that says herbal Viogro will get you horny 24/7, yes they ARE endorsing that product. Otherwise there's no reason for the marketers to use that email address, is there.

Also, is the JP a foreign corporation? If so it seems like they're in violation of several US election laws.

JP did the same for Mitt Romney back in April. Subject was "Join Mitt"

Dear Friend,

Do you believe deeply in Israel’s right to live in peaceful coexistence with its neighbors?

Do you believe that those who support terrorism against America and against the state of Israel should be held accountable?

Do you agree that we must become energy independent and stop sending $1 billion a day to nations like Iran and Syria who use that money against us?

Join me here.

Do you agree that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s denial of the Holocaust and Israel’s right to exist are intolerable?

Do you agree that the failures of the United Nations have made people understandably cynical when it comes to multinational and multilateral organizations?




I do too, and I’m eager to start doing something about it. I’m convinced that when political leaders are honest about the challenges we face as a nation we can overcome great obstacles. I would like to continue this conversation. Join me here.

see, this would seem to cast doubt on their claim that it's a technical glitch, wouldn't it?

And how. What else could the interpretation possibly be?

I'm not familiar with the Jerusalem Post. Do other newspapers in other countries make a practice of sending out e-mails from candidates in the newspaper's name? Any one out there know?

Wht would happen if a Democratic candidate used a foreign newspaper to bash Republicans? Obviously the question is rhetorical.

On second thought, I have a better question. Will any of the Democrats condemn Giuliani and Romney? Again, the question is rhetorical.

They won't say anything and the media won't say anything. This disgraceful activity will remain unknown to the vast majority of Americans. Thanks TPM for making it public.

>What would happen if a Democratic candidate used a foreign newspaper to bash Republicans?

They would begin asking these questions:
Who is really behind the funding of G.'s message?
What does the JP (and them behind it) hope to gain from a Giuliani nomination?
What has Giuliani promised them?
Who is G. beholden to?
What other foriegn influences have ties to G.?

And of course,"what the heck is going on here?"

The first thought that hit me when I read this story was the owner of the Jerusalem Post.

It's Conrad Black, chief executive of Hollinger, and currently a defendant in United States Federal Court (on charges brought on by US Attorney - Patrick Fitzgerald!)

Pals of Conrad: George Will (whom he paid for "services"), Richard Pearle (on his board), Henry Kissinger, Ex-Gov Jim Thompson, the "Doughy Pantload" (Jonah Goldburg who defends him), and pathetic shit-rag David Frum (on his payroll).

And now you know why this happened! There is no difference between the Jerusalem Post and the New York Post - both are Reich-wing propaganda rags.
