Lee Fang & Michael Whitney: Conspiracy Tactics from the Chamber
February 16, 2011
In the war of information around WikiLeaks, the story just keeps getting messier. The latest chapter involves Anonymous, the group of hackers who targeted banks that denied WikiLeaks funding, a private security firm called HBGary, Bank of America, the CIA, and our good friends at the US Chamber of Commerce. Spying, data mining, and smear campaigns against progressive bloggers and union members and activists are just part of the mess, which is still unfolding.
Hamid Dabashi, Lee Fang & Michael Whitney, and John Lewis
February 15, 2011
"People are perfectly capable of democracy and guess what, without US invasion," notes Hamid Dabashi of the lessons from Egypt's revolution. Iran is just one of the countries that, inspired by Tunisia and Egypt, has seen protests in recent days. In Iran, it's a revival and of the civil rights movement that we saw start in 2009 after the elections, Dabashi notes, but moving to a new phase that is demanding more than just "Where is my vote?"
Marcy Wheeler: Making a Mess of Justice, Finance, and More
November 19, 2010
"You can't just have homeowners pay for the mess that the banks have made; not just of our finance system, it's becoming clear that they've made a mess of our private property system in this country," says Marcy Wheeler, who's been blogging the House and Senate hearings on the foreclosure crisis at her FireDogLake blog, and joins us via Skype to discuss the situation.

Geoff Millard, Mary Kay Henry, and Obama v. Bloggers
September 30, 2010
"You don't go to war without being changed by it," says Geoff Millard, former Chair of the Board of Iraq Veterans Against the War. From sky-high suicide rates for veterans at home to horrific stories of "kill teams" in Afghanistan, we're hearing stories every day of the traumas that going to war inflicts on our young men and women. Millard and IVAW, though, have been working both at home and back in Iraq to bring about some sort of reconciliation, both for soldiers and for Iraqi civilians.
The F Word: It's the Economy, Not the Bloggers
September 30, 2010
It seems odd to quote Bill Clinton when it's Obama's recycling of Clintonite politicians that has helped get us into this mess, but there it is. “It's the economy, stupid.” Americans are angry with the Obama administration, and the Obama administration is angry with—bloggers? The left-leaning media? What's wrong with this picture?
Media Narratives Still Predictable
January 8, 2010
Joining us to discuss the good, bad and ugly in this week's media are Marcy Wheeler of EmptyWheel at FireDogLake, Liza Sabater of CultureKitchen and The Daily Gotham, the Rude Pundit Lee Papa, and Dan Gerstein, Forbes columnist and president of Gotham Ghostwriters.
Media Narratives, Gaza and Uncle Bob
January 7, 2010
No matter what the news is, which country has tensions, who's making threats, the response from TV news seems to be the same: quote Dick Cheney. We saw plenty of that this week, along with pronouncements that Democrats are doomed in 2010, complaints about progressives who've criticized the health care bill, and of course Tiger Woods.
