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.
Make America White Again graffitiCounterSpin is your weekly look behind the headlines—but at year’s end, we take a look back and revisit some of the stories it’s been our privilege to bring you. We call it “Best Of,” but the truth is we’re always working to bring you voices and perspectives that corporate media ignore—or worse—and to shed some behind-the-scenes light on why so-called mainstream news looks the way it does. Expanding the public conversation, listening to people who don’t make the nightly news, has always been crucial. Right now, more people may be recognizing that, and that’s a good thing.

This year’s “Best Of” includes Heidi Beirich on white supremacy, Chris Savage on Flint’s toxic water, Alvaro Bedoya on discriminatory policing, Brendan DeMelle on Exxon’s climate secrets, Josmar Trujillo on militarized “gang” raids, Shahid Buttar on civilian copwatching, Joe Macare on Brexit, Phyllis Bennis on Trump and the world, and Kelly Hayes on Dakota Access.
