  I once worked with the reporter who was there from MSNBC. I'd hardly
  describe him as a "MS plant." Not only was he the fellow who introduced me
  to Nader lieutenant Jamie Love, but he's even written on the dangers of
  infomonopoly for Nader pubs, including some issues that were distributed at
  the conference.

  What's your source on "highly-paid?"
