Seeking to build support among black families for its education reform law, the Bush administration paid a prominent black pundit $240,000 to promote the law on his
nationally syndicated television show
and to urge other black journalists to do the same.
The campaign, part of an effort to promote No Child Left Behind (NCLB), required commentator Armstrong Williams "to regularly comment on NCLB during the course of his broadcasts", and to interview Education Secretary Rod Paige for TV and radio spots that were aired during the show in 2004.
Williams said Thursday he understands that critics could find the
arrangement
unethical, but "I wanted to do it because it’s something I believe in". The top Democrat on the House Education Committee, Rep. George Miller of California, called the contract "a very questionable use of taxpayers" money" that is "probably illegal".
The contract, detailed in documents obtained by USA TODAY through a Freedom of Information Act request, also shows that the Education Department, through the Ketchum public relations firm, arranged with Williams to use
contacts
with America’s Black Forum, a group of black broadcast journalists, "to encourage the producers to periodically address" NCLB. He persuaded radio and TV personality Steve Harvey to invite Paige onto his show twice. Harvey’s manager, Rushion McDonald, confirmed the appearances.
The reason that this story was made known to the public was the fact that ________.
选项
A、USA TODAY requested Freedom of Information Act to act on its behalf
B、Freedom of Information Act requested USA TODAY to act on its behalf
C、USA TODAY managed to obtain copies of the documents that contained the contract
D、Freedom of Information Act so stated that USA TODAY was able to obtain the documents
答案
D
解析
本题考查推理判断。根据文章第四段第一句“The contract, detailed in documents obtained by USA TODAY through a Freedom of Information Act request, also shows that…”可知,协议是《今日美国》通过《自由情报法》请求获得。
