Another right-wing columnist caught with his hand in the Bush propaganda cookie jar --
- "One day after President Bush ordered his Cabinet secretaries to stop hiring commentators to help promote administration initiatives, and one day after the second high-profile conservative pundit was found to be on the federal payroll, a third embarrassing hire has emerged. Salon has confirmed that Michael McManus, a marriage advocate whose syndicated column, "Ethics & Religion," appears in 50 newspapers, was hired as a subcontractor by the Department of Health and Human Services to foster a Bush-approved marriage initiative. McManus championed the plan in his columns without disclosing to readers he was being paid to help it succeed."
Yesterday (or was it Wednesday?) Maureen Dowd announced she was leaving the left wing liberal media elite to enlist with the right wing media elite, because "They get paid better."
