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 president’s State of the Union address was met with praise from liberal pundits and derision from conservatives, with precious little analysis of the content. Was it a turn real toward populism? We’ll take a look at some of Obama’s economic talking points with John Schmitt, a senior economist with the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
Also on CounterSpin today, a new study of media coverage of race finds very little of it is what the researchers call ‘systemically aware.’ We’ll ask Dominique Apollon from the group Race Forward to explain what that means, and what better coverage would look like
