Why the Political Talk Shows Ignored Corporate Power Issues
Season 1
Published 3 years, 8 months ago
Description
According to one source, between 1995 and 1999, almost all of the Sunday public affairs talk shows, including Meet the Press, Face the Nation, and This Week, avoided discussing corporate scandals. The issue came after agribusiness firm Archer Daniels Midland, for years a major sponsor of these shows, found itself in some hot water.
