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: Talking to reporters on Air Force One last month, Donald Trump said: “Dakota Access takes it to the Pacific. Who do they compete with? Russia.” Every word of that is nonsense; or, as Politico graciously put it, “It was not immediately clear what Trump meant”—given that the Dakota Access pipeline goes nowhere near the Pacific, and oil is an international market. But while Trump is wrong out loud, corporate media are tacitly wrong in their evident belief—if coverage is guide—that the fight over the pipeline is over. We’ll get an update on a struggle that’s very much alive from Kandi Mossett, organizer with the Indigenous Environmental Network.
