Armstrong Williams/Maggie Gallagher...how many more?

[spanone]

We'll never know, but where there are two I bet there are two hundred. My local paper has a bush* apologist that totally drank the kool-aid and echoes every embarrasing theme the White House puts out. Wonder how much he has received?

1. everyone on staff at Faux.

2. My question to these 'journalists': Are you being paid?

If not, why not?

Better to whore for money that to whore for free?

5. A lot more.

If I were Maggie, I'd be upset cause Armstrong got paid more. :)

6. Robert Novak i'm sure was paid BIG money to push the WAR and oust Plame

7. We'll Never Know

You're asking the foxes to investigate the foxes. Good luck.

I suspect there's someone out there whose outting these people from the inside of the GOOP...casting aside the loose cannons and deadwood; making them both inoperative and ineffective.

The details, while embarassing to this regime, have been minor in nature (who really cares about the Education Dept.???) and the timing, now, when this regime is enjoying another media "honeymoon", this is the time to toss out the dead weight.

If you really wanted to do some digging you could easily find trails, as many did here on DU during the last election, that ties a lot of influential media types to political action groups that are the conduits for a lot of the under-the-table money inside the beltway.

Remember, these people live in a very egocentrical world inside the beltway where politicians, "journalists" and others play games to enrich their power and influence. They're not gonna crap too close to where they sleep cause this just messes up the games they like to play.

My question is where are the media watchdog groups like this? Had this been a Democrat, be assured that a Klayman or some other wingnut suithound would have been in court with a civil suit and a ton of discovery and FOIA requests. This is where this where we should be looking. C'mon, Media Matter or Tom Payne, your time to shine.
