Your Tax Dollars at Work — for Viacom!

Fred von Lohmann of the EFF says,

Washington DC legal paper Legal Times is reporting that a legislative aide to Sen. Gordon Smith has just taken a job with Viacom. The aide, Kevin Murphy, worked on the broadcast flag bill that Sen. Smith has been circulating in the Senate. Viacom is a big supporter of the broadcast flag. Can you say "conflict of interest"? I thought you could.
