Williams Spinning Some Good PR Amid the PR Scandal

Commentator Armstrong Williams -- who made a lot of coin from a secret government contract -- handed out commemorative coins to seven pioneering black conservatives in an inauguration day reception at his home. Mr Williams is under fire for taking $240,000 in taxpayer money to promote "No Child Left Behind" on his radio and television programs. The scandal has prompted Education Department, Congressional, and FCC investigations. Attending the reception at Mr Williams home was the head of another company that earlier promised to investigate their own connection with Mr Williams and the government contract. David Smith, owner of Sinclair Broadcast Group attended the reception. Mr Williams was a paid analyst for Sinclair Broadcast Group during the time of the contract and Sinclair broadcast an interview Mr Williams conducted with Education Secretary Rodney Paige. (WashTimes)
