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: You may have heard that in the midterm elections, Republicans in Wisconsin lost the positions of governor and state attorney general, and that their response has been to use their lame duck session to push through legislation to weaken the power of the governor and the attorney general. Outrageous alone, this is not the only instance of the GOP reacting to electoral results they don’t like with overt power grabs that override the express will of voters. These maneuvers define “anti-democratic”—and they rely on a lack of public awareness, abetted by a lack of media sunlight. Hoping to help shed that light is writer and activist Paul Rosenberg; he’s a senior editor for Random Lengths News, as well as a columnist at Al Jazeera English and a contributor at Salon.com. He’ll join us to talk about his recent roundup for Salon of what he calls an anti-democratic “red tide,” and what can be done to stop it.
