Abstract

Media Matters
Nader, Ralph | January 22, 1996 issue

add to cart   close window

U.S. Republican primary candidate Steve Forbes and his fortune are running for President. The media dutifully report the swelling political advertising budget that has raised him in the polls ahead of other Republican primary candidates, and surveys show him second to Bob Dole in some early primary states. The press, which always complains about soporific presidential campaigns, should welcome Forbes's inadvertent contribution of a major issue to national politics, the power of money over the media. More than any other candidate, Steve Forbes has written on regulatory and business matters.
