        FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein has urged his employer to investigate the
        Department of Education’s payoff of conservative commentator Armstrong Williams.  
        Williams recently admitted to accepting $240,000 in exchange for promoting that good ol’ neocon
        favorite, the No Child Left Behind Act.

        The federal “anti-payola” law prohibits broadcasters, producers, or suppliers of content
        from accepting money for airing material—unless they make it clear that they were paid to shill.

        Here's what you can do:Send a letter to the FCC asking them to do their part to keep the
        Bush administration from buying journalists.
