Republican Party blanket-emailed newspaper editors

And newspaper editors published the astroturf spam

By Mike Magee: Tuesday 21 January 2003, 08:17

IT SEEMS WE'VE OPENED something of a can of worms with our story yesterday, which suggested the US Republican Party blanket emailed different newspaper editors with the same letter praising George Bush.

Dozens of editors of US newspapers published the letter, apparently in good faith. And on the face of it, the letters were signed by different individuals.

See Google hunts down 'President Bush is demonstrating genuine leadership'

We now have proof that the letters were auto-organised from a Republican Party website.
