Following the FCC's Public Notice [3] on "fake news [4]," the U.S. Senate approved, by 98 to 0, a measure [5] requiring "clear notification within the text or audio of the prepackaged news story [6]" for all fake news produced with federal funding. The measure was offered [7] by Senator Robert Byrd [8] and inserted into an emergency spending bill for Iraq [9] and Afghanistan [10] operations. But not all of Washington DC has seen the light on fake news. Representative George Miller warned that the Department of Education [11]'s investigation into the Ketchum [12] - Armstrong Williams [13] payola scandal is being obstructed. The Department's Inspector General was "'denied access' to some current and former White House employees," while Secretary Margaret Spellings [14] is "considering invoking special privileges that would force the investigator to shield parts of his findings from the public," according to Miller.
