It's not about the money being spent or on what - it's about "journalists" being paid to advance a certain point of view without telling the public that they were PAID to have that opinion.
Money gets thrown everywhere in politics. Journalists taking a bribe to say what the government wants them to? That ought to be illegal, if it isn't already. (Note that "journalists" and "bribe" are both being used rather loosely.)
The pundits didn't speak up about it. But also, the administration didn't either.
