1/27 3rd journalist now busted for being on the take from Bush administration without disclosing it: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2005/01/27/mcmanus/index.html How soon before we get to refer to Bush as "Comrade President?" \_ It's Presidente. Like Potatoe. \_ what about PBS, Sierra Club, Nature Conservatory, NOW, Bill Moyers.... \_ uh, what about them? \_ the context of the thread is receiving government funds, so take a wild guess. let us be intellectually honest here and not give money to any of them. \_ If you can't see the difference between the Sierra Club and the government secretely paying journalists to promote its agenda, umm... you're probably a troll. \_ Don't you think that guy really is that stupid? \_ Effectively what is the distinction between an advocacy organization and a journalist? I would argue the organizations, which receive millions, are more insidious. PBS, NPR, and Moyers are not journalists? |
