DESCRIPTION:Media Regime Change Speaker Series  The Buying of the President… and the 
 Media, v. 2004  FREE EVENT – Thursday, April 8, 7PM  - Who’ s 
 bankrolling Bush and his democratic challengers  - and what do they expect 
 in return?  - What is the role of growing media giants in the process of 
 choosing a president?  Join Media Alliance in welcoming Charles Lewis, the 
 author of the New York Times bestseller “The Buying of the President 
 2004.” He will discuss the relationships between major presidential 
 candidates and their "career patrons,” as well as the role of big media 
 in influencing political process.   Following a successful 11-year career 
 in network television news, including “60 Minutes,” Charles Lewis 
 founded the Center for Public Integrity in 1989. The Center serves as an 
 honest broker of information fostering “public service journalism.” It 
 has released more than 230 investigative reports and has been honored 23 
 times since by Investigative Reporters and Editors, the Society of 
 Professional Journalists and other organizations.   At Victoria Theatre, 
 2961 16th Street (at Mission Street), San Francisco  For more information, 
 call Media Alliance at (415) 546-6334 ext. 300    This year the money 
 raised to elect a president will shatter the record set in the 2000 
 election. Already George W. Bush is on track to raise more than $200 
 million for his election campaign. Already two of the potential Democratic 
 candidates have eschewed federal funding, insuring that both the Republican 
 and the Democratic candidates will surpass the $200 million mark that was 
 almost unimaginable four years ago.  Charles Lewis will discuss how big 
 money, special interests and large contributors pre-select the candidates 
 for president before a single primary vote is recorded, and how they 
 influence the policies and platforms of the candidates seeking the 
 nation’s highest office.   \n
