Armstrong Williams and Bad PR for the PR Firms
Washington spends millions of your tax dollars every year on private public relation firms. But in light of the Armstrong Williams scandal -- that money could dry up. Mr Williams took $240,000 of your tax money to promote the "No Child Left Behind" law on his programs. The move may have broken federal law against "covert propaganda." A flood of tax dollars flowing to PR firms has made the DC area a PR paradise in recent years. PR firms are already launching their own PR campaign condemning Mr Williams and the way that publicity effort was handled. (WashPost)
