John Archibald tells the story of how Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford had media folks on his campaign payroll, and how some of the players aren’t so eager to talk about it.

I bought up BuSh because this situation reminded me of when it came to light he was paying Talk Show Host and other right wing Journalist to promote his agenda. I also bring it up because I don’t remember your “side” being outraged about it.
Alabama just finished one of the bizarre primary election cycles in recent memory. I mean really, who would have ever thought 12 months ago that Ron Sparks and Robert Bentley would have been facing off against one another for the big prize?

You mean like George Dubya Bush had journalist like Armstrong Williams, Bob Knovack and others on his payroll? Langford learned from the best…

i hope any defender of these idiots like frank matthews just heard him on the matt murphy show, wow what a moron.
