Investigative Blog Reporting - JAWA

I skipped this yesterday, but new evidence (deleting of evidence in fact, on a big scale) has come to light that makes me want to link this story. You must go to the Jawa Report and read the long post... these guys are pushing some buttons (JAWA was key to busting the Palestinian ambulance scam a year or two ago) (h/t LGF):

Astroturf Evidence Going Down the Memory Hole

The Jawa Report seems to have gotten someone’s attention.

UPDATE: Within an hour of this post going up, YouTube videos implicating Ethan Winner were yanked, sockpuppet accounts deleted, and more importantly, the Wikipedia entry on David Axelrod began to edit out mentions of his well known astroturfing campaigns. Hmmm, it sounds to me like we’re on to something.

We have backups of all the deleted websites, and will update as soon as we can.
