Palmer R. Chitester Fund
Erie, PA 16506
The Palmer R. Chitester Fund was created by the combative Bob Chitester, with startup money from the Bradley Foundation (see grants), to create right wing "popular" media, and lately has taken to selling educational materials based on the error-prone reporting of ABC TV's arch-conservative correspondent John Stossel. It's Idea Channel distributes "intellectual" videotapes on conversations between mostly members of the right wing movement on topics ranging from political science to economics to history. [more]
