Government Media Bribes Must Stop

Sounds a bit similar to the Armstrong case, no?
Sounds very familiar. Glad you followed it up. I commented on this incident the other day (#278) as well.
But an investigation is certainly warranted.
It seems like it is all out in the open now. What more could further investigation show?
Also, it’s hardly likely that this is an isolated incident. Who else is on the government payroll?
Now an investigation into that would be worthwhile. As I said the other day..."When all of the propaganda is realized and reported on maybe something will get accomplished."
And, lastly, shouldn’t Williams give the money back?
IMO, no. He was paid for a service and he provided it.
If it was wrong in the first place then the hundreds and thousands of on hire lawyers in D.C. would've, or should've, known that it was illegal and never allowed it to happen. If it is/was illegal then someone else besides Williams is to blame. He is the last person who blame should fall upon.
The mice have built the better mousetrap and seem to have trapped themselves in it.

Last week, it was revealed that the Education Department paid commentator Armstrong Williams $240,000 to promote its education policies to black audience

I hate it when they say "it was revealed". How ? By who ?
Where is the documentation ? I'm sure the dems will use the magic words "serious questions have been raised".
First they will run with inflammatory headlines for about a week and then the whole thing just fades away without any retraction.
