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.
What are media missing as they mark the 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade Supreme Court? Journalist Rose Aguilar has a few ideas. And Barack Obama’s comments on climate change in his inaugural address have generated a lot of coverage–and enthusiasm. We’ll talk to Daphne Wysham of the Institute for Policy Studies about the policy side of that story.
Also on the show: Media made much of Barack Obama’s comments on climate change in his inaugural address. But with a new (and undercovered) assessment projecting temperature rises of 9 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century, it’s obvious that talking about climate change is not enough. We’ll talk to Daphne Wysham of the Institute for Policy Studies about that story.
