Media Panel: Michael Jackson, Sarah Palin, and an Effective Public Healthcare Plan
July 10, 2009
Since the death of Michael Jackson on June 25, the media has been consumed with coverage of the event, culminating in Tuesday's public memorial service at the LA Staples Center that was both heartfelt and, at times, over the top. Even bearing in mind America's fascination with celebrity, was Jackson's death overcovered in the media? Also, was the complexity of his life explored to enough extent in his remembrance? Sarah Palin's resignation in her first term as Alaskan Governor has also brought controversy to the US media, which prompted questioning and criticism from all media outlets, including Fox News. Does she have any political power or credibility left? Other topics include Matt Taibbi's investigation of Goldman Sachs and their corrupt ties with government, the death of the father of the Vietnam War, and can print journalism continue to stay afloat? Joining us in our media panel today to converse about these issues, we have Elinor Tatum, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of the Amsterdam News, Joe Conason, National Correspondent for the New York Observer and a contributor to salon.com, and Rolling Stone Executive Editor Eric Bates.

Obama's Campaign Promises, Gentrification, and a Crutchmaster

GRITtv Live: Media to Obama: Break Your Campaign Promises
December 4, 2008
The corporate media have spun the post election frame to argue that Obama should break his campaign promises. The financial crisis is too grave. Healthcare reform, renegotiating NAFTA, and the Employee Free Choice Act should all be dropped. An editorial in USA Today described them as "small bore ideas" that Obama trumpeted more for "their political appeal than for their economic usefulness." Panelists: Thom Hartmann of Air America; Elinor Tatum, Editor-in-Chief & Publisher, Amsterdam News; Peter Hart, Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting
