ISP Removes Fake U.S. Chamber Press Release From Internet

A California internet service provider ceded to the demands of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and has removed from the internet a spoofed press release set up by the culture jamming collective the Yes Men, which falsely announced the Chamber now supports legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. On Monday, a wide variety of mainstream news outlets picked up the hoax announcement, which was followed by a staged press conference at the National Press Club featuring a Yes Men member posing as a spokesman for the Chamber of Commerce.
