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 imminent ruling by a St. Louis County grand jury about whether to indict Darren Wilson, the police officer who killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, has media focused on the possibility of violent demonstrations. But the issues raised by Brown’s killing won’t disappear, no matter what the jury decides. We’ll talk with educator and organizer Mariame Kaba about the bigger story.
Also this week:
The White House’s climate emissions deal with China was praised throughout the media as a big step in the right direction. One liberal columnist told readers not to listen to the “yes but” naysayers. But critics of the deal are worth listening to; we’ll speak with one, Daphne Wysham of the Center for Sustainable Economy.
