What do you call it when the federal government pays a private company some money so that the private company will stump for the federal government’s agenda? Payola. Under the FCC rules and regulations, “When a broadcast licensee has received or been promised payment for the airing of program material, then, at the time of the airing, the station must disclose that fact and identify who paid for or promised to pay for the material.”

Cool! I’ll make sure to boycott all NBC shows this week.
Snippet: As reported many times our current unemployment rate has risen to 10.2% with underemployment at almost 20% and in real numbers 16 million Americans unemployed yet our tax dollars used in the TARP bailouts and the economic stimulus are creating employment in other nations. In the case of TARP money recipients Americans were laid off so that companies could hire foreign guest workers. In the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 there are no provisions that jobs created by this money go to Americans.
Alan Blinder in his paper," How Many jobs are Offshore," estimates that 22 to 29 % of U.S. jobs could be outsourced right now. Computer programmers, Technology, Mathematics, and Engineering jobs are at the top of the list. IBM literally suggests that American workers begin outsourcing themselves to find jobs.
While they deny it, many companies are completely set up to offshore and outsource jobs created by taking U. S. tax dollars. Robert Oak reports that U.S. firms have outsourced 22,000 green technology jobs alone, since Jan. 1, 2009.
The only show I watch on NBC is Days Of Our Lives(This week Sami gets her baby back, about damn time!) any who, they were even promoting this Green crap today. It was annoying as hell. I had to change the channel
