Free Press Communications Director Craig Aaron made the following statement:

"The billion-dollar Bush PR machine is out of control. The scary fact is that this study is just the tip of the iceberg: The GAO didn't even look at the contracts from more than half of the cabinet-level agencies. And the public still doesn't know how many of these contracts funded illegal covert propaganda.

"We need a full accounting of the Bush administration's spending on advertising, PR and fake news. It's time for Congress to reclaim its constitutional role as a counterweight to the executive branch and permanently cut off funding for covert propaganda. We must ensure that taxpayer money isn't being spent by the White House to secretly manipulate the American public."
