Promises Unfulfilled: Obama and the LGBT Community
June 30, 2010But other than pretty proclamations, what has this administration actually done to deliver on its promises of the campaign trail?Danny Schechter, Obama and LGBT Rights, and Gun Control
June 29, 2010The economic crisis needs to be investigated using RICO laws used against organized crime, says Danny Schechter, author and director of Plunder: The Crime of Our Time. Wall Street made billions off mortgage fraud, and all the busts of mortgage lenders in the world won't get the real culprits.More Money Needed For Real Health Care Reform
June 4, 2010Health care reform made it through Congress and was signed by the President, and promptly disappeared from headlines aside from occasional Republican attempts or vows to repeal it. But the system is far from fixed, and hospital closings, budget cuts and understaffings contribute just as much to our nation's health care crisis.Jim Naureckas, Health Care Costs, and Arizona Protests
June 3, 2010Oil gushers and Israeli commandoes dominated the headlines this week, but the news too often seemed to come from the same sources, over and over again. Cable news hosts and guests alike repeated the Israeli government's statements on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza--or what they termed a lack of one--and BP managed to continue to control access to its oil, coating beaches in the Gulf of Mexico.David Swanson, BP Oil Spill, and Christian Boltanski

If you ask David Swanson, he'll remind you to follow the money. The U.S. taxpayer money, of course, which funds Israel's military and pays for war that enriches oil companies. Meanwhile, aid for Haiti and Don't Ask Don't Tell are added to supplemental funding for war in Afghanistan to convince members of Congress to vote for escalation.The F Word: For Poor, America's a Sinking Ship
June 2, 2010For all the talk of Wall Street reform, and new consumer protections, and talk of alternative energy policy, the fact remains that for most people, America is a sinking ship. And minority communities are the first to be thrown over the side. Where are the lifeboats?Health Care: What's In The Bill, Anyway?
March 25, 2010The most oft-asked question after the historic passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as the health care bill, is "How does this affect me?" While we can't answer all your individual questions in a 30-minute show (or a week of 30-minute shows), we thought we'd pull in some experts to lay out what's in the new law.ACORN, Health Care Reform, and the Media
March 24, 2010The right wing's favorite political football, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, has announced that it will be closing down. What brought down the once-strong force for justice for low-income Americans?
