In media news, Business Week has revealed that Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff paid two conservative columnists to write favorable articles about some of his clients. Doug Bandow of the CATO Institute was suspended Friday by the Copley News Service. He admitted to being paid to write up to two dozen columns. Peter Ferrara, of the Institute for Policy Innovation, was also paid off. He defended taking the money saying “I do that all the time … I’ve done that in the past, and I’ll do it in the future.”
