Media Malpractice

Two stories in the media right now, neither of which involves the seventieth anniversary of Elvis Presley's birth:

Noted Oreo cookie - er, black conservative - Armstrong Williams was found to have accepted nearly a quarter of a million dollars from the government to promote the No Child Left behind education law on his syndicated talk radio show. The White House also gave Williams a seat on the President's Commission for White House Fellowships as part of the deal. This could be a violation of laws banning the government from using the media for propaganda purposes.

The other story? Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are separating.

Guess which story is likely to get more attention. :-(
