Grand Rapids Press Runs Article on CAFTA

July 20, 2005

On Saturday, The Grand Rapids Press reprinted an article on CAFTA, making it only the third article that has mentioned the trade agreement in the past three months. The Grand Rapids Institute for Information Democracy (GRIID) published an analysis of the article yesterday, pointing out that the article simply reported President Bush’s opinion that CAFTA was necessary as part of the “war on terror” and that CAFTA would increase jobs. There was no mention of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and job losses under that trade agreement. Analysis: Bush Conflates the “War on Terror” with CAFTA
