Stop White House News Distortion
By Ben Scott, FreePress.net

The Bush administration is using your tax dollars to fund political propaganda.

You've probably heard by now: Right-wing political commentator Armstrong Williams admitted receiving $240,000 from the Department of Education to promote the Bush administration's No Child Left Behind Act on national television -- including dozens of Sinclair stations -- without disclosing that he was on the government's payroll.

Laws have been broken. Williams issued an apology in hopes that this scandal will go away. With your help, it won't. Join us in demanding that Congress and the FCC launch a thorough investigation and introduce legislation to outlaw "payola punditry."

1. Thanks - did it.

2. Kick. The FCC said it only received about a dozen complaints

Come on DUers! This is one sure way we can help kick some so called liberal media butt.

3. Kick ....we need to blast them with this. Williams and the Sinclair link

is the big smoking gun we've needed to really try to get action from the FCC. Remember Sinclair and Swift Boat Liars?

This is a clear case of how Media Deregulation, Lax oversite by Colin Powell's son and the loss of the "Fairness Doctrine" under Reagan are ruining our "right to free speech by all."
