Armstrong Williams Speaks on Conflict of Interests
www.armstrongwilliams.com ^ | January 9, 2005 | Armstrong Williams

The fact is, I run a small business. I am CEO and manage the syndication and advertising for my television show. In between juggling my commentaries and media appearances, I stepped over the line. This has never happened before. In fact, my company has never worked on a government contract. Nor have we ever received compensation for an issue that I subsequently reported on. This will never happen again. I now realize that I have to create inseparable boundaries between my role as a small businessman and my role as an independent commentator.

Hmmmm...he apologizes, admits the mistake, and vows to never do it again. Compare his response to the perpetual shakedowns of the civil rights poverty pimps (Jackson, Sharpton, et al.). Guess who the MSM will cut some slack? It won't be Williams.

Looks like he is doing the right thing off this. Hope he can recover and prosper. Black conservatives - need all we can get.

His apology indicates, maybe not too bright on the business side; trying to just wing it w/o mentoring or advice on what he was doing and potential trouble off decisions.

I am curious on who offered the $$

The money was channeled from the federal government through a PR firm.

OK, who cut the check, if you know. Are they in potential trouble?
