Whitehouse spam?

[timesjoke]

Last week Fox news pressed the Whitehouse asking about what appeared as Unsolicited political email messages being sent out, here is the exchange:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwog7ao6nHg]YouTube - Fox News Reporter Accuses White House Of Breaking The Law[/ame]

A lot of people including all the other networks pounced on the story saying Fox was making up a story and putting Fox down.

Well, today this gets released:

The White House for the first time Sunday seemed to acknowledge that people across the country received unsolicited e-mails from the administration last week about health care reform, suggesting the problem is with third-party groups that placed the recipients' names on the distribution list.
In a written statement released exclusively to FOX News, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said the White House hopes those who received the e-mails without signing up for them were not "inconvenienced" by the messages.

So now the claim is the Whitehouse had nothing to do with it, that some unknown outside groups must have added their emails without telling them.

Right.
