Why this story matters is the way this Administration is basically dishonest about the press and the public; it pays commentators, it admits phony journalists who they know will provide supportive questions to their agenda, they ban all but supporters to public speeches by the President, and they produce phony news reports.
I don't care that GannonGurket was a gay prostitute. I care that this is only the tip of the iceberg. Who else is the Administration funding?
And, by the way, why the heck is the executive spending so much on PR firms? In a January report, the U.S. House Committee on Government Reform found that federal agencies spent more than $250 million on contracts with PR agencies between 2001 and 2004 – nearly twice as much as the $128 million that Clinton spent between 1997 and 2001.
Why did not only the Bush administration but the Clinton administration spend money on PR firms? I don't want my $$$ going to push any administration's policies. We have whole departments that do that already!!!
There. I feel better.
