Something about “free” and purposely misleading your readers doesn’t sit well with me. Just wish I found it surprising.
The editor of the Detroit Free Press has expressed regret for using Code Pink members and other liberal activists in a pool of supposed independents used to comment on Sarah Palin’s convention speech.

Furthermore, this should bother all newspaper publishers and editors because it reflects on the group as a whole.
