Knight Ridder debate has a Republican twist
Top executives of Private Capital Management, the shareholder group that is forcing the sale of Knight Ridder, donated $112,000 to help President Bush and Dick Cheney get re-elected. On April 8, 2004, the head of PCM, Bruce Sherman, and company executive Gregg Powers gave $50,000 each, or $100,000 total, to the Republican National Committee.
