Third Columnist Implicated with Payola Charges
Friday, January 28th, 2005Just like most of us thought, more journalists are coming out that have been paid – with our tax dollars – to push the Bush administration’s agenda.

And on the heels of the Democratic bill…
Wednesday, January 26th, 2005The RNC is trying to raise funds to “get past the liberal filter” (which is a joke in itself) and pay to get the Bush agenda out. If the Government is going to get in trouble for payola, then they’ll get private donations to work to their favor. And how many of these “media campaigns” [...]
Bill to stop paying for Bush agenda
Wednesday, January 26th, 2005Several Democrats have put forth a bill that would end the practice of “paying for opinions”.
