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 government shutdown may be over, but there’s no cause to celebrate for those hardest hit–-people already reeling from earlier austerity measures. Despite what you may have heard, the pain was not restricted to political “losers” and those turned away from monuments. We’ll hear from Sister Simone Campbell of the Catholic social justice lobby Network.
Also on the show: Plan B is not an abortion drug, not medically controversial, and since it can be taken 72 hours after sex, it’s not even a “morning after” pill. A new project clears misconceptions around Plan B and tests whether it’s actually as accessible as the law intends. Jo Ellen Green Kaiser of the Media Consortium will talk about that.
