Reply #13: I think this story is important...

If I'm not mistaken, Armstrong Williams has taken over for Rush Limbaugh, when he's been on vacation.

I think this is one of those tip-of-the-iceberg stories.

There is a potpourri of White House media shenanigans taking place every minute. This is just one small example of a ginormous, problem.

Rush Limbaugh receives his talking points from the White House. It's certainly unethical that our government is working in tandem--with this disinformation, lying bastard. Also, Fox News has become the PR branch of the Republican Party. Clear Channel is Republican owned--and they control more radio stations than any other media conglomerate. Sinclair Broadcasting is Republican owned and looking to acquire more broadcast stations. Sinclair is unabashed about perpetuating Republican propaganda--ie, the anti-Kerry movie.

This administration is using the media to perpetuate propaganda via the public airwaves. That's a scary, accurate, newsworthy story--for any reporter willing to get off of their lazy butt and cover it.

This misuse of media is the big, pink elephant in the room that no one discusses. Well, today--a reporter from USA Today picked up a piece of the elephant dung and at least had the courage to say that it smelled bad.

Maybe this story will spark further coverage of Republican propaganda on America's airwaves.

I doubt Chimparoni is losing sleep over this. However, it's a good think that this is being reported.
