WIBW | Who Paid for It?

WIBW REPORTS "TENS OF THOUSANDS" IN FEES.

CONGRESSMAN RYUN RAKES THE $$$$$$ IN
ON MAD DICK'S CAMPAIGN JUNKET?

KANSANS WILL NEVER KNOW.

Channel 13, WIBW-TV, Topeka, Ks. is no longer the aggressive news station that it once was more than 30 years ago. The reporters hands are tied in tight budgets and the herd mentality of advertisement driven editorial 'guidelines.'

Owned by one of the most right wing Republican slanted corporations in the United States, far from Topeka, Ks. the staff of reporters must labor under some pretty tough rules. Like don't piss off anybody, especially Republicans buying campaign ads!

A "card of thanks" goes out to Lisa Boschert who tried to report on just how much money Congressman Ryun spent to get Vice President Mad Dick Cheney to Topeka last week, but she failed by news time last week.

It is hard to come up with any investigative reporting working under the "It's So Good" canned format of Happy Face Mindless Boosterism called television journalism in Kansas.

Here is an excerpt with something of a dollar figure mentioned:

"Ryun's campaign paid a certain amount of money in the tens of thousands of dollars to the RNC to pay for Cheney's visit. She says after the visit the White House gave a bill to the Republican National Committee and whatever money is left over goes back to Ryun.

Ryun spent somewhere in tens of thousands of dollars to bring the vice president here, but made more than $200,000 in fundraising."

FCF is sure that after two more years of the Bush Regime even the figures of how much collected will be classified under Department of Homeland Security news guidelines.
