  schwarzenegger in nyc: brought to you by...major news outlets!

According the the New York Times, corporate sponsors of the Governator's trip to NY include Fox Entertainment, NBC Universal, News Corporation, Paramount, TimeWarner, the Walt Disney Company and Viacom. He's also sponsored by several oil and pharmaceutical companies including Amgen and Pfizer, ChevronTexaco and Conoco Phillips. 
Comments:
I'm happy for him. He needs the money.
 
I certainly wouldn't want him to have to rob a bank or anything...
 
So in the mediacracy form of government, the media pays the politicians so that they'll have news.

I can just see Rupert in his unidisclosed lair....'Regular government is so boring and unnewsworthy...let's pay for a little bit o flash to crank up the ratings. ~evil cackle~
