Tim Ireland on tabloids, media, blogs and politics
Where does your ‘news’ come from?
Washington Post – Writer Backing Bush Plan Had Gotten Federal Contract: In 2002, syndicated columnist Maggie Gallagher repeatedly defended President Bush’s push for a $300 million initiative encouraging marriage as a way of strengthening families… But Gallagher failed to mention that she had a $21,500 contract with the Department of Health and Human Services to help promote the president’s proposal… Later in the day, Gallagher filed a column in which she said that “I should have disclosed a government contract when I later wrote about the Bush marriage initiative. I would have, if I had remembered it.”
Curse the liberal media. They tell lies, you know. Ooh, look! Bunnies!
UPDATE – Armstrong Williams.
