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.
PBS says no to Koch. Not the soft drink, but a documentary called Citizen Koch, about the billionaire right-wing political donors. We’ll speak with Tia Lessin, the film’s co-director, about what happened.
Also on CounterSpin today, actress Angelina Jolie’s announcement that she had a preventive double mastectomy brought breast cancer into the spotlight. The thing about media spotlights, though, is they don’t always shed the most useful light. Is the press drawing the sort of lessons from the Jolie story that really will improve women’s health choices? We’ll talk with Karuna Jaggar from the group Breast Cancer Action about that.
