Is the question Dave Johnson asks over at Seeing the Forest:
Beyond direct government payments, who is being paid by the Right’s heavily- funded network of “advocacy” organizations to propagandize us? Who is being paid by corporate trade associations to advocate “tort reform?” Who is being paid by oil companies and their fronts to say global warming is not a problem? The Armstrong Williams case opens up a crack in the door to this use of paid propaganda disguised as “news,” designed to influence the public to support Republican policies and candidates!
And, this case demonstrates the reach of this practice — I mean, Armstrong Williams? If they’re paying HIM a quarter of a million dollars cash, just imagine who else is getting paid, and just imagine the amounts they are paid!
This is huge. This is the White House again caught red-handed engaging in criminal activities.
