Porker of the Month: Sen. Joseph Lieberman

Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) has named Senator Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) Porker of the Month for sponsoring legislation that would spend $90 million to research what countless other studies have already examined - the effects of television viewing and other media on children. A myriad of private, clean television advocacy groups already scrutinize every hour of television, issue reports on new video games, boycott advertisers, and write editorials. Sen. Lieberman's proposed study is just one expensive rerun. Rather than spending money to watch television, Sen. Lieberman should be watching out for wasteful spending. For his efforts to push the government to get involved in an activity already conducted by the private sector, CAGW names Sen. Joseph Lieberman Porker of the Month for August 2004
