Watchdog group goes sniffing for more of Bush's PR turds

The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington group has filed Freedom of Information Act requests with 23 federal agencies to find out who else the Bush administration has been bribing to spread propaganda favoring Bush policies.

If Bush did it once, he might have done it a hundred times. We now must ask just to what extent this corruption is spread. As it turns out, this isn't a precedent.

As referenced to in the CREW press release, "Previously, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) criticized the Department of Health and Human Services for having Ketchum create fake news footage in support of the new Medicare Bill. GAO is also investigating another contract between Ketchum and DOE and a contract between the Office of National Drug Control Policy and Fleischman-Hillard."

Fake news praising the GOP? It's funny the GAO felt they needed look any further than FoxNews and right-wing radio.
