Fox News Spammed Me. I had written a letter to Bull O'Lietome a couple days back about his piece on the Dean/Bloggers non-story.
Well, I just get online now to check my mail, and I've got 10 emails from Fox News telling me I've been added to all sorts of email lists.
I was even added to O'Lietome's newsletter mailing list. I'm not sure if this is illegal or not, but I'm feel violated. lol.
Has anyone else experienced such spamming from Faux News?
Here are a few of the emails I received after writing Bull. (Below the crease.)
