The Inquirer Follows up on AstroturfGate

Category: politics – Bernie Dodge – 9:48 am

OK… I’m going to stop posting about this right after this. Promise. The netters’ outing of the GOP’s astroturf campaign is being covered by a UK site with three articles so far: the first news (already noted here 2 days ago), then the sordid details on how it was done. It’s all automated, including printing the envelope with the newspaper’s address.

The Inquirer has even posted a satirical apology with a comparison between this and the Nigerian spam most people get daily. Funny! Thanks to Susan Jesson-Ward for the heads up.
