Nader entangled in Murdoch's media web
Strange alliance
|Nader's book presents a unique synergy of politics and profits for Murdoch. "It's a win-win for him," says Consumers Union's Kimmelman, who during the early '80s worked for Public Citizen, a public advocacy group founded by Nader. "Murdoch's making money by promoting the book on Fox, and if Nader draws a strong audience, it may benefit reelecting George Bush, which would mean a favorable environment for further deregulation of Rupert Murdoch's media empire. As an entrepreneur, you can't ask for anything more; he's making money on both ends."|
