How is the American Prospect different from Armstrong Williams?
New York Post’s Ryan Sager is seemingly onto some significant conflicts of interest at TAP and NPR. … If the New York Times took more than $100,000 from General Motors to produce a special issue on Regulation in the Auto Industry, wouldn’t there be a stink? Why is it any different if you substitute “Carnegie Corporation” for “General Motors” and “campaign finance regulation” for “auto regulation”–and “American Prospect” for “New York Times”? Perhaps TAP editor Bob Kuttner has an answer to Sager’s charge. … P.S.: And I’ve always thought that NPR’s acceptance of grants ostensiby to finance coverage of particular topics was highly compromising. … P.P.S.: Sorry. I forgot–NPR doesn’t care about money! It’s public radio! … Update: Sager has a bit more on the TAP mess here, including a Kuttner comment. It seems the Carnegie issue was first of a series of “foundation sponsored” issues! Do they sell themselves to a different foundation every other month? … 2:40 A.M. Sunday, March 20
