Politico again allows Gingrich to promote policies favorable to his group's funders

SUMMARY: In a September 3 Politico op-ed, Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich promoted medical malpractice reform and criticized current Democratic-backed health reform legislation. But in providing a forum for Gingrich to discuss health care, Politico again failed to disclose that his Center for Health Transformation -- a for-profit entity that Gingrich founded and reportedly profits from -- receives annual membership fees from several groups representing physicians that have a financial interest in promoting tort reform.
