The news is always good
especially when you pay for it.

U.S. Paid 10 Journalists for Anti-Castro Reports

MIAMI, Sept. 8 — The Bush administration’s Office of Cuba Broadcasting paid 10 journalists here to provide commentary on Radio and TV Martí, which transmit to Cuba government broadcasts critical of Fidel Castro, a spokesman for the office said Friday.

Didn't we hear not too long ago a president say they were going to stop paying for news? Tell me trolling freeper how having to pay for news works? If the reports don't fit your world do you pay someone to make it up? As a freeper do you trust your news more or less when you find out it's paid for?

Do you only want the good news that has been staged, scripted, and performed by the likes of the Fox News Playhouse? Do you really want to shield yourself from the truth that bad? Before you answer remember, it's your tax dollars paying for this news. Your president stood before you and said this news for hire would stop, you believed it. Now what do you say?

Who were you trying to bash? Castro or journalists or...?
