Karen Czarnecki (r.) and Elaine Chao (l.): Labor Department's Fox News relationship is a walking, talking conflict of interest.
Aug. 15, 2006 -- More on NewsCorp/Fox News propagandizing. The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees covered by Civil Service regulations from engaging in political activity while performing their official duties or using their official titles while involved in purely political functions. Other laws prohibit federal employees from moonlighting for employers that could be linked to their official duties. Not so for Labor Department Deputy Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs Karen Czarnecki who regularly appears as a "Conservative Strategist" on Fox News and a "Conservative Analyst" on PBS's "To the Contrary" women's political talk show. According to Al Kamen's "In the Loop" column in the Washington Post, Czarnecki is paid for her appearances on PBS. There was no mention whether she is paid by Fox, but the way Fox handles guests is that "specialists" are not paid while "contributors" are compensated.
With Czarnecki's relationship with Fox, we have yet more proof of unethical behavior by Bush's senior appointees. Czarnecki, who has presided over the anti-labor Director of the Office of the 21st Century Workforce, is a senior adviser to Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, the wife of Kentucky Republican Senator Mitch McConnell.

In addition, Clive Goodman, Rupert Murdoch's royals editor for the News of the World (NOTW) who is under investigation for wiretapping the cell phones of the staff of Prince Charles and possibly Charles' own cell phone, wrote some blatant neo-con rhetoric about the future King in a February 9, 2003 article in NOTW. Goodman wrote, "despite being colonel-in-chief to 17 regiments, Charles has shown little public support for the soldiers, airmen and sailors who are about to risk their lives in a Gulf conflict. There are also worries that he makes no secret of his anti-American views in conversations with members of Arab royal families and their leading officials. A Whitehall source said: 'Downing Street tries not to involve the prince in anything— because they have concerns over how he will react. >>>>cont
