  2. No surprise there. Just wait until it comes out certain bloggers and the Montgomery Indepedent take money from Milton McGregor, Stan Pate and Tommy Gallion.

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

  6. dan t, if the entire Democratic party had CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, PBS and NBC on our payroll for decades our country wouldn’t be in this mess.

    Anonymous, I can’t dispute anything you said, I was just pointing out the similarities.

    If it’s wrong for Langford to have media on the payroll it’s wrong for BuSh to have media on the payroll . What’s good for the goose…..

  7. Yes, it is wrong for both. No one is saying it isn’t, homeboy. Why did you even bring up Bush when no one was saying it’s right for either side?

  10. Anonymouse #7,
    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.
