Political Payola Continues
Salon.com reports that a third conservative columnist has been caught accepting money for delivering opinion. I guess there is no such thing as a "free" press.
I'm fine if the conservatives want a battle of ideas, but let's have an actual discussion and not mercenary mayhem. "All our Cabinet secretaries must realize that we will not be paying commentators to advance our agenda. Our agenda ought to be able to stand on its own two feet," Bush said at a news conference. Let's hope that the actions that follow reflect these sentiments.
Don't be surprised that I'm not holding my breath.
