Tiger, Obama, Unemployment, Oh My!
December 11, 2009We have a panel of journalists joining us in the studio to discuss the way the media did--and didn't--cover the biggest news of the day. Joseph Huff-Hannon, independent journalist and Nation contributor, Rana Foroohar, senior editor at Newsweek, and Lionel of Air America critique coverage of Copenhagen, Obama, health care, the economy, and yes, even Tiger Woods.Media Panel, Garbage Dreams and Cartoons in Conflict
December 10, 2009Obama 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.A Vote of Fear or Hope?
November 4, 2008With the campaign entering its final day, and despite Barack Obama's comfortable lead, the fear factor still looms large. Last week the New York Times ran an article about Black voters in North Carolina who assumed that their votes would not be counted. In addition, the climate of fear stoked by the McCain campaign and its surrogates has added a raw edge to the campaign's final day.Fear vs. Hope, Tweet Your Vote, and How the Election Could be Stolen
November 3, 2008With the campaign entering its final day, and despite Barack Obama's comfortable lead, the fear factor still looms large. A recent ad titled CRISIS released by a Republican 527 blends fears of another 9/11, the financial crisis, and images of Barack Obama and a van of terrorists. Obama has stayed closer to the reality-based world, releasing an ad that highlights Dick Cheney's endorsement of John McCain.Media Wasteland, an Interview with Martha Burk, and DJ Spooky in Antarctica
