Woman Gets 13K Texts After C-SPAN Posts Wrong Number

A Virginia woman received more than 13,000 text messages and 600 calls after C-SPAN accidentally plastered her number on TV during the presidential debate, reports AP. Bartender Tripp Diaz of Stafford, 26, began receiving a barrage of texts Monday night because C-SPAN put up her number and asked viewers to comment on the candidates' performances, reports DCist. C-SPAN spokesman Howard Mortman says the network got it wrong and has apologized to Diaz, who wasn't even watching the political spectacle.
