We all know the Oklahoma press corps needs a major enema! Here’s reason # 1,953:

From the State Sunshine & Open Records blog:

My friend and colleague Paul Jacob was indicted in Oklahoma in June 2007 by attorney general Drew Edmondson.

When the Citizens in Charge Foundation (CICF) sent out a press release to the Oklahoma media last week, announcing that the charges had been dropped, the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority — the public television station in Oklahoma — sent a “spam complaint” to Hostica, the company that hosts the CICF website, causing the website to temporarily be pulled.

I would think that getting press releases about Oklahoma-related news would be all in a day’s work for the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority, and would not be something to cause someone at OETA to go to the trouble of filing a spam complaint with CICF’s server.

Incredibly, this is not the first time OETA has reported Mr. Jacob’s emails as spam to their hosting provider!
