The Bush Administration has to PAY the media for favorable stories. The liberals get them for NOTHING.

Is this the first administration that paid journalists to secretly promote its views?

Ping.

Kennedy is grasping at straws. Usually they are in drinks.

The GAO said its investigation of Gallagher will focus on whether her contract with HHS violated federal law banning the use of public money for publicity or propaganda.

Lautenberg said the Bush administration has violated he trust of the American people.

"The Bush administration is manufacturing propaganda, plain and simple," said Lautenberg, of New Jersey.

If the administration's department had a program to encourage marriage and/or strengthen marriage, what's the cadaver's grounds for calling the advice of a mariage expert "propoganda" other than her views differ from his?

"The president should put in place sound policies that benefit all Americans rather than pay the press to promote bad policies," said Kennedy of Massachusetts.

Drunk Ted flunks again. They paid for her views. Sober up you fat bastard.

Senator - I suggest you check your own back yard before attacking your neighbors'.

Not publicly disclosing information was an idiotic thing to do - however I see this as a witch hunt with the pot calling the kettle black on top of it.

I am in no way attempting to justify the non-disclosure, I just firmly believe that if they are so bent on doing such an investigation it needs to include ALL administrations and not just the current.

And in the light of my call for full disclosure - I was a reporter who covered the government and then became a lobbyist.........my first client was a small group who's opponents had fought mightily to get me fired from my job as a reporter. But there was a 4 year time between the 2 events and I knew none of those involved personally.

Fat ted will investigate after he finishes his beer and a swim.

On Frontpage I just finished reading about how the Pew Charitable Trusts and the left pushed through campaign finance reform and are trying to regulate bloggers. They used fronts such as NPR to funnel money to to promote their message. They also did the research that the Supreme Court used in upholding the law. Subtle.
Of course, no need to follow up that story with the mainstream press.
