In 2005, USA Today uncovered the scandal that black columnist Armstrong Williams was paid to promote Bush’s Education Department initiatives. In 2013, it’s never a scandal when MSNBC anchors promote Obama’s Education Department initiatives. It’s another Great Leap Forward for government-media synchronicity. Today at 4 pm, after her daily on-air hour is up, MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall is serving as moderator of a Google-Plus “hangout” at Howard University for the Education Department on “A Legacy of Excellence: Celebrating African American Teachers in our Classrooms.”

Unless Miss Hall is being paid by the government to do this, there’s a real difference between her situation and Armstrong Williams’s. That was a case of our tax dollars’ being used to pay a supposedly objective opinion journalist to shill for NCLB.
Anyway, nobody expects that an MSNBC employee is anything but a full-time propagandist for the Democrats, so there’s no “conflict of interest” for them.
The fact MSNBC is for all intents and purposes a mouthpiece for the regime anyway, it sounds to me like Tamron is only working for a different department while in the same company.
Oxymoron alert: “Obama Education Department”
Google-Plus “hangout”? That means the crowd will be almost as large as a Sandra Fluke rally at a Seven Eleven.
The entire MSM is on Obama’s payroll. Would not surprise me in the least that he has all of them getting checks to continue to cover his rear end.
Didn’t Armstrong Williams - and the Bush Administration - get into heap big trouble over this exact type of thing?
I seem to recall the entire MSM rising up in fury over the very thought that the government was using a member of the media to spread their message.
