CounterSpin
Counterspin is FAIR's weekly radio show, hosted by Janine Jackson, Steve Rendall and Peter Hart. It's heard on more than 125 noncommercial stations across the United States and Canada. Counterspin provides a critical examination of the major stories every week, and exposes what the mainstream media might have missed in their own coverage.
This week on CounterSpin: Corporate media in election mode means lots of talk about strategy and tactics and who candidates would like to have a beer with. What it could use more of is attention to core electoral issues like who gets to vote. Joining us to discuss the first presidential race in 50 years without the full protections of the Voting Rights Act is Ari Berman, senior contributing writer for The Nation magazine and author of the new book Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America.
