Did Obama Pay Journos For Positive Coverage And To Attack Trump? Why yes, yes he did…
Posted on February 1, 2019 by DCWhispers   
 

It was called the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act signed into law in 2016 by then-President Obama (and allowed by Establishment Republicans like Paul Ryan) that took effect in 2017 and allocated a whopping $160 MILLION taxpayer dollars over two years to pay for government-sponsored propaganda. The money is now gone and guess what? About 1000 journalists are suddenly being laid off.

Coincidence? Hah! This was classic Obama, reaching into the bottomless trough of taxpayer dollars to push his self-promoting agenda. He did it with green energy, America-last trade agreements, and his post-2016 coverage to help ensure he remained relevant in order to quickly accumulate tens of millions of dollars worth of book deals, Netflix deals, and speaking fees.

It’s enough to make even the Clintons blush.

In order to be signed into law, it had to pass both HOUSES of which the GOP had the majority.  I always found it disturbing that even though the GOP had the majority, they didn't have the ability, or didn't care to reign him in!

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Was it a single bill or added to a bill?

It was part of the NDAA. Both parties gleefully supported it and just renewed it in August.
