NPR Commentator Betty Baye SLAMS neg. e-mailer re: A. Williams
from NPR.com -- "Commentator Betty Baye took some heat for writing a column criticizing Armstrong Williams. Baye says one person who wrote her to defend Williams should re-think his strategy."

For anyone who is getting more and more pissed off about all these Paid Commentators, this is a MUST HEAR.
:bounce:
Betty Baye comes out with both guns BLAZING, and RIPS a negative "Williams Defender" a "New One."

Best quote "...My first thought was, NO, No he didn't go there...!" :grr:

2. No. It is not played out. Willaims has a quarter million of our money
paid to him in secret for propaganda, and Bush wants to cut seniors social security.

I am pissed off!

6. Where's The Investigations?
Obviously we can't rely on this regime...especially now...and the Congress to do much but hope this fades away and fast. This scandal could come too close to home, and their lapdog media is doing its best to make sure it dies a quick, silent death.

The Rove Machine now has made Williams into some martyr while Democrats and others sit there and wring their hands...claim the usual outrage and do zero.

If this were a Democrat on the take, there's be some Repugnican laywer out there slapping a civil suit to force journalists to be deposed and testify under oath in front of a jury. Where are our watchdogs?

5. This topic isn't played out
because there are others that took money. Armstrong said so himself.
And I believe that there a lot more three "pundits" who took money from the administration.
