Astroturf Infecting Print and Online Media

I mentioned a practice of Astroturfing (though I didn't know the official term for it) in a previous posting. While I mentioned that it was being done heavily by Bush supporters, as a commenter pointed out, the practice is being done on both sides. Mark Glaser has a great story on OJR about the practice, who's doing what, and why they're doing it.
