Ciné Institute: Haiti's Heroes
January 13, 2011We've reported this week on how little has changed since the Haiti earthquake one year ago today. The cholera epidemic is on the rise, a million people are living in tent cities and the Haitian government is in complete paralysis. We continue to follow the situation in Haiti, but how about a little positive news?Peter Hart, Miriam Moskowitz, Haiti and the Broken Economy
January 12, 2011"They are goading people into feeling like their country has been stolen from them," says FAIR's Peter Hart of Glenn Beck and other right-wing media personalities with what he terms a "conspiratorial worldview." It's not just using violent metaphors, in other words, it's creating a paranoid mindset that something dangerous is happening to the U.S. that can appeal to those already inclined toward paranoid thinking, like Jared Loughner.Cine Institute: Chana
March 30, 2010Since the earthquake in Haiti in January, we've been bringing you updates from the Ciné Institute, a remarkable organization that has helped Haitians tell their own story of recovery and rebuilding. In this segment, we see the story of one young volunteer who spends her days helping her neighbors, providing care and lifting spirits.Tea Party Conspiracies, Max Rameau, and Haiti
March 29, 2010In order to respond, alas, we have to understand, and that means going through the looking glass. So wrote Richard Kim of the tea party movement's latest bogeyman--the Cloward-Piven strategy, which demagogues like Glenn Beck proclaim is the strategy for destroying America and putting in place totalitarian socialism. It sounds ridiculous, Richard notes, and that's precisely why it has such power.A Day in the Life of the Cine Institute
March 3, 2010Continuing our coverage of the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti, we bring you more footage from the Ciné Institute.Ciné Institute: Stories of Heroes
February 3, 2010We continue to bring you stories from the Haiti earthquake recovery from the students at the Ciné Institute in Jacmel. In this video, we hear stories of rescues during the aftermath of the quake.Bumbling Buggers, Ben Jealous, and Remembering Howard Zinn
February 2, 2010Yesterday, Laura called our attention to the strange tale of the attempt at bugging Senator Mary Landrieu's New Orleans office, noting the stories uncovered by indie reporters connecting the dots between the ACORN sting, the break-in, and funding flowing into universities from the nation's intelligence agencies--as well as right-wing organizations.Cine Institute: The Students
January 28, 2010We've been proud to feature content from the Ciné Institute over the last couple of weeks from Jacmel, Haiti--you've seen their incredible work in many clips. Here, some of the students who shot that footage tell their personal stories from the earthquake.State of the Union, Bernie Sanders and Honduras
January 27, 2010Obama's preparing for his first State of the Union speech, and we're wondering if once again he's going to try to be all things to all people. After all, on the campaign trail he dismissed talk of a spending freeze, only to adopt that language a year into his administration, and with the economic team he's still using, he's starting to remind us of the last Democratic president, Bill Clinton--who may have slashed the deficit, but did so on the back of his "welfare reform."Cine Institute: After the Quake
January 25, 2010We've been proud to feature content from the Ciné Institute over the last couple of weeks from Jacmel, Haiti. Their ongoing coverage of the disaster has been a lesson in the ways grassroots journalism succeeds when the mainstream fails. This video explains a little bit about the Institute and the work they've done since the quake.
