Those look more like "announcements" than news. Surely you don't equate those with the articles that mimic wire stories that newsmax puts out. Only one possible exception of the ones you posted that I see from a quick skim: March 22, 2004 Several weeks ago, Tom Cole, a Republican Congressman in Oklahoma spoke to supporters about the upcoming election. "If George Bush loses the election, Osama bin Laden wins the election," he told them. Later, he said that a vote against Bush was like a vote for Adolf Hitler. These hateful and outrageous remarks — which neither the RNC nor the Bush/Cheney campaign will repudiate — are representative of the negative campaign being rolled out against John Kerry. But even that one isn't pretending to be actual "news," it is relating a quote and saying what moveon thinks about the quote. Has anyone posted a moveon announcement and claimed it to be "news"? I haven't seen any, but then I don't follow even close to every post that's posted, not enough time for that.
