Look Who Has Jumped Into Bed With Ralph Nader [1]
Submitted by John Stauber [2] on
Ralph Nader's run for the presidency of the US has brought him some strange right-wing bedfellows such as Citizens for a Sound Economy [3] and Rupert Murdoch [4]. CSE has been working hard to place Nader on the presidential ballot in Oregon [5], and will do so too in Wisconsin and other states [6], according to press accounts describing them as "a conservative anti-tax group." Such a description is a little like saying Pat Robertson [7] and Jerry Falwell [8] are Christian ministers. We reveal much more about Citizens for a Sound Economy in our new book Banana Republicans: How the Right is Turning America into a One-Party State [9]. The Center for Media and Democracy investigates and tracks the work of corporate front groups including CSE through our Disinfopedia [10] website. There you can find out the latest information and you can help us keep tabs and report on CSE and other corporate fronts.
