That’s the charge Nick Lewis makes here. Read this entry in its entirety. Then read his follow up here. (hat tip: FTV Live)

That’s ridiculous. Factually, CNN has a dealwith both Netscape and google which is no secret to anyone who reads…..CNN monitors blogs, all kinds of blogs, politIcal, television, faN club, etc., THEY DO NOT SPAM BLOGS!

Kudos to this guy for uncovering it, but he doesn’t have any evidence to pin it on CNN. I can’t imagine any independent person being so enamored of CNN as to do this, but it’s no more believable that CNN itself would do this, either. It’s just … weird.

I found it pretty suspect. Sure, maybe there are deals in place with google (who the hell uses netscape anymore?)…but I still won’t put it past CNN to do something like this. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Very doubtful this is happening. I have a blog and this nick dude has sent me this “tip” several times in the last couple of days. If anyone is spaming it’s NICK!

Definately Blog Spam, but is it from CNN?
