Left Foot Forward has a piece about Eric Pickles gathering together a bunch of Tory bloggers, plying them with drink and setting up a CCHQ rebuttal mechanism through tame Tory bloggers.
Pretty small beer really, I suppose. let's face it, the political parties have been doing this with the mainstream media for years and no-one gets all knicker-wet about it. I suppose in a way though we are all a bit sceptical about the newspaper hacks and accept that by and large they churn out what they are told by an editorial line anyway, whereas even the biggest Tory mouthpieces are assumed to have some independence and integrity.
Interesting for a piece claiming the establishment of an instant rebuttal service... the Tory blogosphere has rushed to the Left Foot Forward comments columns to.... errrm, rebut the story.
Ah, your "when did you stop beating your wife?" question of the day.
Let's say you and your cohorts are wrong. Then the bloggers in question would deny it - because it's not true. The fact, than, that it is denied makes it true in your eyes. Nice, but stupid.
