The Black Informant | African American Commentary, News and Community Building

As I mentioned a few postings ago, what Armstrong Williams did was dead wrong. Using taxpayer money to push a political agenda is never right or justified. On the other hand, to dramatize a non-isolated incident to the levels of government conspiracy I think is blowing this way out of proportion. But first, check out how other media outlets reported this issue:

Pressure increases on Williams payment Washington Times

Columnists’ Group Agrees: Armstrong Williams Not a Journalist Editor & Publisher, NY

FCC Investigating Armstrong Williams Incident Broadcasting & Cable

Education Chief Defends Payments to Pundit Washington Post, DC

Now, let’s take a look at Black Press USA’s title of their report on the issue:

Williams’ ‘Payola’ Was Part of a Covert Propaganda Campaign

Although there is some truth to this statement, they know full well that their choice of words continues to feed the flames of conspiracy theories and never-ending mistrust of an administration that they want us to feel is hell-bent to destroy the black community.

Just a little something that I have noticed.
