Last week Salon Magazine reported that television networks had taken money from the White House drug office in return for inserting anti-drug messages into their programming. The Washington Post now reports that “the drug office says it is spending $11.3 million in the current 12-month period to advertise in 250 newspapers, and that $893,000 of that money is being spent on the New York Times, USA Today and The Washington Post. And White House officials say that in three cases–two of them involving the Times and The Post–newspapers were granted $200,000 in financial credits that reduced the amount of public service advertising they are required to provide under the program.” – Washington Post
