Sounds like a misappropriation of tax funds.

I wonder how they're funneling taxpayer funds to Walter Williams for shilling his convoluted economic propaganda advocating globalization?

[Saberwielder]

Doesn't make sense. There are plenty of conservatives of all races who are willing to write in favor of good fiscal policies (low taxes/less government) out of their own interest without monetary benefits. Maybe MSM spin-job.

I used to like Williams at times, but when he started defending Michael Jackson I wondered if he could be bought. Wow. So this administration knows who can be bought, that's regrettable if true. I wonder who else has gotten government funds to promote policy.
I hope this account is wrong somehow.

Payolla is nothing new to the radio industry.

During the Clinton yers, I remember one of the networks doing a made-for-TV movie that was made specifically for the purpose of pushing a bill that was going through Congress (Family Leave Act, perhaps? It had some relation to families). Bubba even made a cameo appearance in the flick to push this initiative.

This is not exactly the same as the Armstrong Williams thing, but it still smacks of propaganda as much as what Williams did. I don't remember an outcry over the Clinton thing, though.
