After a four-month investigation, The Nation magazine has found that in 2007 at least 75 registered lobbyists, public relations representatives and corporate officials have regularly appeared on MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, CNBC and Fox Business Network with no disclosure of the corporate interests that had paid them. These people, promoted as experts on the networks, are paid by companies and trade groups to manage their public image and promote their financial and political interests. Many have been regulars on more than one of the cable networks, turning in dozens--and in some cases hundreds--of appearances.
