Bug me not never helps.
Amazing the Wash Post is admitting, and writing about,this.
I guess they know it would get out without them.
The question is, how many other papers printed the same variation? I'm sure more than just the ComPost received these seminar letters.

And we especially like to hear from readers who can think and write for themselves. BREAKING: WASHINTON POSTS MOCKS DU.

Unfortunately, the letter, perfect in every other way, arrived in our electronic in-box Thursday afternoon, four hours and 14 minutes before debate moderator Jim Lehrer posed his first question. This is the real story about all those polls taken immediately after the debate. The DNC cooked the polls, as usual. Maybe I missed it, but I saw and heard very little coverage on it. It helps to negate all those "Kerry won the debate polls".

The punchline: "[O]ur goal is to present a sampling of genuine reader opinion, not to become one more battlefield in the spin wars raging all around. And we especially like to hear from readers who can think and write for themselves."
Good on 'em! I imagine many in the media are now afraid of being the next Dan Rather.

Bug me not never helps. Oddly enought BugMeNot only works for me with the comPost. It even remembers me every time. BugMeNot hasn't worked for me on any other newspaper website.

Bugmenot works a day or two at the NYSlime and then they get wise to a thousand readers all registered as "Biteme"

thanks for the login link.
It seems to me the Washpost is being honest.
They didn't have to mention any of the tactics being used by the dnc. Maybe they're not as partisan as the nyt or the lat.

More aware of the danger of being shown to be pulling transparent scams a la Rather and CBS.

When I worked for a local newspaper in New Jersey, we got letters with the SAME PHRASES IN CAPITAL LETTERS always making exactly the same points. Never got one from a Republican. We never printed them.

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING Not an indictment of the Washington Post, just a curious question as to why they waited for days to announce the DNC's email when FReepers knew of it BEFORE the debate?

And of course the DUmmies are up in arms about this editorial: Wash.Post condemns DU Activists in editorialLOL. You have to be a real DUmmy to send an email to the editor critiquing a debate before the debate even begins.
