Writer: Former HealthSouth CEO paid for favorable stories in small newspaper
By Jay Reeves
Associated Press
Published: 1/20/06

Excerpt:

McBride said it is so unusual for a reporter to be paid by a news source to write favorable stories that the allegations "are going to be on a lot of people's radar" and will be used as fresh ammunition by critics of the media.
