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: The Supreme Court hears the Hobby Lobby case, which is about women’s health, reproductive rights and claims of religious freedom. Jodi Jacobson of RH Reality Check says it’s all that and more: one more front in the right’s battle against the Affordable Care Act. She’ll join us to explain.
Also on the show: 25 years after the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska’s Prince William Sound, the Sound is still not fully recovered and spills are still in the news: The latest are in Galveston Bay and Lake Michigan. What does this say about the state of regulation? We’ll talk to Huffington Post environmental reporter Kate Sheppard.
