If you haven't heard about Armstrong Williams' taking money from the administration to support No Child Left Behind, the article is here http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/08/national/08education.html?oref=login&oref=login
So who else is on the Bush payola payroll? Is Rush getting a little under the table for all his good work?

That's from the same page as the White House PR videos dressed up as news reports. Nixon's Madison Avenue crew would be proud.

Strictly speaking, no; Fox is a creation of the GOP, that was purchased by a man who regards it as a campaign contribution (Rupert Murdoch). Although he's perfectly willing to lose money on it (and probably does on the propaganda/news division, the same way he does on the New York Post); the overall network is profitable. Ergo; Fox `News' is one of the right wing billionaire supported propaganda arms; not a cheap shill prostituting themself for some chump change. It's an important distinction come corrupt omnibus bill writing time.

And here's another one http://www.drudgereport.com/flash3mg.htm
Well, now that the "Williams was the only one" line has been exposed as a lie, I'm sure we can expect to see a few more pundits on the Bush dole.

....and here it goes. #3 http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2005/01/27/mcmanus/
Next I bet we find they're supplying Rush with pills and paying for O'Reily's phone sex.
