"Liverpool Football Club" Terrorizes DC Media

If you work at the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CNBC, New York Times, MSNBC, Fortune or US News, you probably understand the headline.  If not, consider yourself lucky. 

For the past day, “Fans of the Liverpool Football Club” have been spamming an enormous list of Washington journalists (list CC’d), including almost every Postie.   A reporter at WaPo says their news team has been terrorized by over 100 annoying email pitches since yesterday.   “I counted 40 of these emails yesterday and I got another 65 overnight…so more than 100 in the past 24 hours,” said our source. 

Sounds like someone’s IT department might be in trouble.
