The controversy over the Bush administration paying money to supposedly
independent commentators reignited yesterday when it was revealed that
another syndicated columnist had been paid to promote the president's
policies.
Maggie Gallagher, a regular media commentator on so-called family
values, admitted she had received an undisclosed payment of $21,000
from the Department of Health and Human Services to promote Mr Bush's
$300m initiative to encourage marriage. She received a further $20,000
to write a report about the government initiative for a private
organisation.
