Astroturfing DU: Will All Paid Politcal Operatives Please Step Forward? |
|
I'm a bit slow, I know, so maybe that's why it's taken me so long to come to the conclusion that at least some DU posters are most likely paid staffers, working for various Democratic politicians. Nothing wrong with that. What is wrong, IMO, is when paid operatives post pro-candidate propaganda on DU without disclosing their professional affiliations. I'd like to see a change in DU policy that would require such disclosures, for the sake of intellectual honesty if nothing else. In the meantime, I'd like to see a show of hands: who on DU is a paid staffer for a Dem politician? Stand up, step forward, reveal yourselves, so those of us who may not share your professional enthusiams (and those of us who do) can be aware of who and what we're dealing with when we respond to one of your posts.
