Fox News Spam
Has anyone out there who blogs figured out what the deal is with the Fox News comment spam?
I delete it as soon as it appears, so you wouldn’t have seen it here. What happens is someone comes along and leaves an unrelated comment on a recent post, saying to check out and linking a new news article at Fox News.
The question is whether someone does this to make Fox look like scum, or whether someone at Fox actually has intentionally employed people to do this. Either way, I’d like it to stop, but the latter would be particularly bad.
Update:
Ed Cone addressed the Fox News comment spam issue. Brian Lewis at Fox News tell him they are not behind it. Or at least it is unknown by the Fox “communications honcho,” which is possible and they could still be the genuine source.
