• Media Panel, Garbage Dreams and Cartoons in Conflict

  December 10, 2009

  Obama headed overseas this week, to the Copenhagen climate talks. Today, though, he made a stop in Oslo to accept his Nobel Peace Prize. It's also Human Rights Day, but you might be excused for not having heard that--the media seems more concerned with Tiger Woods' sex life.

• Media Roundtable: The Politics of Satire at the New Yorker, Fannie and Freddie, and the US in Iran

  July 15, 2008

  Ryan Lizza’s 18-page story on how Chicago shaped Barack Obama in the New Yorker has been getting far less attention than the magazine’s cover. On our media roundtable the New Yorker’s senior editor Hendrik Hertzberg faces off with Media Channel’s Danny Schechter over the magazine’s attempt to upend the many falsehoods about the Illinois Senator.

• The Politics of Fear, Art of the WPA, and In Debt We Trust

  July 14, 2008

  On our weekly media roundtable we look at, well, the cover of the New Yorker with the magazine's senior editor Hendrik Hertzberg, Danny Schechter, and Logan Nakyanzi Pollard. What are the limits of political satire, if any, and has the New Yorker crossed the line. We also look at the housing crisis, Iran, and why nothing seems to stick to McCain. Also an interview with Ennis Carter, author of the forthcoming book, Posters for the People: Art of the WPA. And a new film from Danny Schechter, Chris Hume's Red State Road Trip, and a comment from David Sirota.
