This 0p-ed piece from today's new York Times was a revelation.

Perhaps the revelation was of my own naiveté.   That is that the politicians would pay influential and not-so-influential blogs to pander to them.

Some of these blogs I read on a regular basis and I don't recall any notion of fair disclosure on these blogs. 

Perhaps this is not illegal behavior, but surely it must be unethical.
