The House to investigate the possibility that stimulus money was funneled to MSNBC to propagandize Barack Obama’s green energy policies

    As I first wrote about here last week, the Obama regime took $500,000 in taxpayer stimulus money to hire a public relations firm called McNeely Pigott & Fox Public Relations LLC. This firm then turned around and gave the money to MSNBC to run propaganda ads on Rachel Maddow’s and Keith Olbermann’s shows promoting Barack Obama green energy policies.

  In the most recent development on this story the House Committee on Education and the Workforce is opening up an investigation into this potential scandal and have requested all documents related to the story:

John Kline of Minnesota, chairman of the committee, and Phil Roe of Tennessee, who chairs the panel’s subcommittee on health, employment, labor and pension issues, seeks all documents and communications concerning the public relations contract, as well as a list of dates, attendees and topics for any meetings between Labor officials and the public relations firm concerning the “public relations strategy.”

“We understand this contract used taxpayer dollars purchase advertisements on MSNBC during ‘Countdown with Keith Olbermann’ and ‘The Rachel Maddow Show,’” the lawmakers wrote.

Despite the fact that these funds were made available as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act — legislation President Obama said was critical for immediate job creation — an examination of public records show that the contract that resulted in the advertisements on MSNBC created no jobs.

  The Obama regime holds the position that there is nothing political about using taxpayer money to promote a political agenda whatsoever and claim to be innocent of the charges. Fast and Furious has provided us with a glimpse into how this will end; if this investigation gets anywhere near finding any wrongdoing on behalf of the Obama regime Barack Obama will seal the documents using Executive Privilege and the investigation will be for all intents and purposes over.

  But this all seems too coincidental to me:

  MSNBC’s ratings are basically non-existent and it makes one wonder how the propaganda arm of the Obama regime is still able to stay on the air and now we may have the answer; the Obama regime may have been, in effect, stealthily subsidizing the network in return for promotion of its green agenda. This may give us quite an insight into the reason why the anchors on this network have been going out of their way to protect Barack Obama and why they are so willing to make up stories of racist “dog-whistle” terms they claim the Republicans are using to bring down Barack Obama.

  They might just owe the fact that they still have jobs to the possibility that Barack Obama was keeping the network afloat by funneling taxpayer money to MSNBC. I guess we can add these jobs to the jobs saved list…..
