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.
The Supreme Court is grabbing the front pages with rulings on marriage equality and the Voting Rights Act. But the Court’s curious ruling on affirmative action also raises plenty of questions—especially about where the discussion of that issue might be headed next. We’ll speak to Kimberle Crenshaw of the African American Policy Forum about that.
Also on the program: Barack Obama gave a major address on climate change. What it signaled, rhetorically or otherwise, was very much up for debate. The media discussion included plenty from Obama’s critics in the fossil fuel industry, but what were the environmentalist critiques of the policy? We’ll talk to Public Citizen’s Tyson Slocum.
