Media Panel, Jeff Biggers' Reckoning at Eagle Creek and Dean Baker on Healthcare
February 26, 2010As the Health Care Summit was getting under way in Washington DC, our esteemed media panel looks at what role our media has played in covering the never-ending health care debates since Obama assumed power. Then, with more staff cutbacks in major press rooms and talk of The National Enquirer receiving the Pulitzer Prize, what does the future of journalism look like? Finally, our three media dissectors tackle the increasingly disastrous war in Afghanistan - is the media's coverage (or lack thereof) leading to more death and destruction?Amy Goodman: Listening and Healing
November 17, 2009Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! joined Laura in the studio to talk about creating independent media in a corporate world, the responsibility of people in the U.S. to be aware and active in the world, and the broken health care system she faced down recently while dealing with her mother's terminal illness.Sex, Lies and Sarah Palin, Amy Goodman, and Fighting Drones
November 16, 2009Sarah Palin's book, Going Rogue: An American Life, comes out tomorrow, and the corporate media has been all Palin, all the time. We wonder just what it is about the former Alaskan governor that keeps people coming back for more.

August 14, 2009You don't have to be a media junky to know that conservative talk radio dominates the airwaves. Several years ago, however, Air America Radio tried to change the rules of the game. But many who were hoping that the network would be an antidote to Limbaugh, Savage, et al. are disappointed.
