Bush Administration Spent $1.6B on ‘Propaganda’ Efforts

The study, requested by the House of Representatives Democratic leadership, found that from 2003 to mid-2005, the administration racked up some $1.4 billion in contracts with advertising agencies to broadcast positive messages about its policies and initiatives.

Individual members of the press received a total of $100,000 in promotional contracts.
