Senator Murray Cites Anaconda Papers Merger Claim
The Montana senator asserts that Anaconda Copper Mining Company control over Montana newspapers forced mergers including the Record Herald and Helena Independent. He charges the company dictates politics, distorts news, and pressures state development while mining profits harm Montana’s growth. The piece argues mergers stem from wartime pressures and industry-wide challenges, not solely the senator’s expose.
