The New York Times reports that federal auditors said on Friday that the Bush administration violated the law by buying favorable news coverage of President Bush's education policies, by making payments to the conservative commentator Armstrong Williams and by hiring a public relations company to analyze media perceptions of the Republican Party.
I can't say I blame Republicans for their slimy efforts. After nearly five years of creating disasters, hurting America and outright incompetence, good news is hard to come by. So, why not buy the news? There are countless morally bereft moralizing columnists like Williams who are more than willing to sell their credibility for a few bucks.
Money, after all, is what modern conservatism is all about. It is not a movement or even a political party. Republicanism under Bush and DeLay is a giant gravy train, where working families are manipulated to elect politicians who will make the rich even richer. So, it should be no surprise that a GOP based on false premises would resort to phony news.
Finally, if the GOP wants to resort to bogus broadcasting, they should hire John Stewart. He's a heck of a lot funnier than Williams and probably could be bought for a heck of a lot less, saving the taxpayers money.
