WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 - A senior scholar at the Cato Institute, the respected libertarian research organization, has resigned after revelations that he took payments from the lobbyist Jack Abramoff in exchange for writing columns favorable to his clients.
Why, I'm shocked. Shocked, I say, that this sort of thing was going on. I thought they were a bi-partisan libertarin orginization.
Gbaji, I'm sure will be equally shocked and then go on to explain how the same thing happens at liberal think tanks, with no proof, claim the NYT is biased, with no proof, and then write abot 100000 words saying nothing at all. Obviously, with no proof.

If nothing else, I have always been impressed with your ability to do with so many fewer words.
Well i wouldn't trust him either after that whole O.J. Simpson houseguest incident.

Lending yet more legitimacy to my vote for consumer advocacy, Ralph "The Hitman" Nader, and The Green Party back in '00.
Quite possibly, myself and 3.8% of the population were/are high, but it's still a pity we can't trust good men like Doug Pandrow. I mean, besides the dividends, what sort of motivation did he have?
Then again, I like being lied to for a fee. At least when I'm at the clinic, or functioning spasmatically upon a hooker, I do. I'm all torn usunder, inside, I tell you.
What was the name of the radio guy that got paid to suck GOP di[b][/b]ck last year?
And the two other columnists that did the same?
Edit: Oh yeah, Armstrong Williams, Maggie Gallagher, and Mike McManus.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Yes, damn you independant media!
I'd rather have my fabricated stories bought by the government. Big Brother knows what I need to hear!
Do what now?
I knew a guy who works for Google who accepted a nice gift from a customer, which is against company policy.
Guess I should stop using them seeing as how the entire organization must be corrupt.
What a shame.

Oh sorry, I didn't know that this guy was the head of everything for CATO. I thought he was just one employee that wrote a couple of articles.
My bad.
Point being how much the information you have access to is shown to the public. If your Google guy worked answering the phones or paying the utility bills, I doubt anyone would care if he got a vendor gift. If he works on the search algorithms, people will care more. You didn't specify and I assume the bulk of Google's employees don't have influence over what's presented unlike how a CATO columnist does have access over what CATO presents.
Such a simple concept

As a representative of Google, he does indeed "represent" his customer.
The issue being discrediting an entire organization because of one idiot. Discredit his work, fine, but flowing this to unrelated article/idea/theories because this guy slipped is stupid.

I've enough reasons to dismiss CATO without worrying about Brandow.

The difference being that CNN and CBS has one main voice that conveys what the station wants you to know. CATO has dozens of scholars that write individual pieces. Unless Brandow wrote everything that CATO as an organization wanted you to know, its a tough comparison.
