Money, Politics, and U.S. Media
June 3, 1998
The US congress has failed to pass campaign finance reform and big money continues to fill the pockets of many politicians. This cash flow is not only affecting the way elected officials represent their constituents but also the way the news media cover public policy. On this program we look at the US media's effects on democracy.
Featuring:
David Barsamian, Alternative Radio; Molly Ivins, nationally syndicated columnist; Congressman Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
