Dont forget the writer from "SALON" who wrote the story is also paid. I think that work, in general, is one's agenda because it pays. Without financial incentive, little gets done regardless of the agenda. IMHO

I wasn't aware a government agency funded Salon.

Makes little difference whether government funds PR or private funds are used for PR was the point.
Conservative Political initiative needs good PR to counter the free negative PR the journalist left provides through a variety of mediums.

I couldn't care less if Republicans hired some PR people. What are Lobbyiests? They are not only paid by private interests, but many times hired by public governmental agencys to promote an agenda. Public money is spent all the time for agenda oriented PR.
