Remember Armstrong Williams, the commentator who was found to have taken over $200,000 from the Bush Administration to push their agenda on his "unbiased" talk show? He has an article at NewsMax. It's "“Media Bias Continues to Deceive Americans”. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.

For those who don't remember (or chose not to remember) Armstrong was one of three "journalists" that were found to have been paid by the Bush Bunch to push their agenda on TV or in their newscolumns.

"“Seeking to build support among black families for its education reform law, the Bush administration paid a prominent black pundit $240,000 to promote the law on his nationally syndicated television show and to urge other black journalists to do the same.

The campaign, part of an effort to promote No Child Left Behind (NCLB), required commentator Armstrong Williams "to regularly comment on NCLB during the course of his broadcasts," and to interview Education Secretary Rod Paige for TV and radio spots that aired during the show in 2004.”
