Are you happy you paid Armstrong Williams to promote Idiot Son's policy?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

me neither. Disgusting pukes.

(Jan. 7) - Seeking to build support among black families for its education reform law, the Bush administration paid a prominent black pundit $240,000 to promote the law on his nationally syndicated television show and to urge other black journalists to do the same.

The campaign, part of an effort to promote No Child Left Behind (NCLB), required commentator Armstrong Williams "to regularly comment on NCLB during the course of his broadcasts," and to interview Education Secretary Rod Paige for TV and radio spots that aired during the show in 2004.

1. I'm probably more upset over paying for the Iraq Adventure.....

2. How much are they paying Hannity and Rush? EOM

3. Should they be required to have a caption that says something like:

<Note: Bought and paid for by the Republican National Committee>

Just so we know what biased opinions are being financially rewarded?

5. Don't you mean "propaganda bought and paid for by you the taxpayer"

?

4. this is awful

We may as well stop bitching about corporate media. They are fair in comparison. At least those that are only acting on their parent company's interest rather than those whose commentators are paid directly by the White House.

The outrages just keep coming. There are so many that no one gets outraged anymore.

What will they do that actually gets a real negative reaction?

6. Fuck no, and I'm very, very upset about this.

:grr:

7. Just another cheap trick from the * administration.

Has their other "outed" cheap trick gone down the memory hole?

Don't you remember the phony "news segments" that were plugging the Medicare bill?
