Letter to the Editor: Consumer Energy Alliance is ‘astroturfing’
Letters to the Editor
The Daily Memphian welcomes a diverse range of views and invites readers to submit Letters to the Editor at letters@dailymemphian.com. Submissions should be fewer than 250 words in length. Preference will be given to letters addressing local issues. Writers must provide their name, city where they reside, email address and phone number. Letters that are published will include the writer’s name and city. Anonymous submissions will not be considered.
The Daily Memphian bills this as an opinion piece, and the author makes efforts to endear himself to us as a local, but this is not an opinion piece by a local. It is astroturfing by the oil industry.
