If only one good piece of news can be found, this sounds pricy.
News item: U.S. military leaders in Baghdad have put out for bid a two-year, $20 million public relations contract assembling a database of selected positive news stories to provide to improve coverage of the military command's performance . . .
And the administration makes charges that news is biased....

You can hire a lot of talented fiction writers for $20 million. Sounds like a bargain to me!

is the $20 million spent even if they don't find a good news story? maybe they can find a skateboarding cat or something? maybe a dog in a hat wearing sunglasses? Or maybe a the militia will get a cat down a tree.

yes, but how much is the government willing to spend to bash liberals, that's the important thing.
Well I guess we've got the ministry of truth, ministry of peace and ministry of love all set up. Yippee, 1984 is finally here!

That is a bargain. I don't think I could come up with much to use.

Since it is painfully obvious that what is going on in Iraq is certainly not what is reported here I guess 20 mil is a bargain.
