Tariq Ali & Alexander Cockburn: War and Taxes
September 17, 2010We've had a lot of talk this week about the Left: where is it? Why does the media ignore it? What can we do to rebuild it? And whose fault is any of this? The mainstream media might ignore voices from the Left, but here on GRITtv those are just the voices that matter--and today, we welcome two you may have heard of: Tariq Ali and Alexander Cockburn.Tariq Ali & Alexander Cockburn, and Mary Bottari
September 16, 2010We've had a lot of talk this week about the Left: where is it? Why does the media ignore it? What can we do to rebuild it? And whose fault is any of this? The mainstream media might ignore voices from the Left, but here on GRITtv those are just the voices that matter--and today, for a special feature, we welcome two you may have heard of: Tariq Ali and Alexander Cockburn.Sarahi Uribe, Felons & Jobs, and War Funding
July 28, 2010In recent months, many have blamed, boycotted, and blasphemed Arizona for SB 1070. However, it is not all state law that is to blame. A few years ago, the United States Justice Department passed 287 G, a statute that puts immigration control in the hands of local police. Would SB 1070 be possible without these deeper, more established roots?The F Word: Funding War, Choosing Sides
July 28, 2010Coming on the eve of another war funding vote, many wondered if the the memos leaked by Wikileaks on the details of the Afghanistan deployment might make a difference. At the first test, the answer appears to have been no. The House approved $33 billion for a 30,000-troop escalation in Afghanistan this week and in doing so took money away from other places it was desperately needed: public schools, green energy and job creation, the lot. 60 percent of Democrats and 93 percent of Republicans think increasing the deficit is just fine when it comes to war.The US Withdrawal: Rebranding the Occupation or Changing the Game?
July 7, 2009The US media have reported on the withdrawal of American troops from Iraqi cities. But 130,000 troops remain in Iraq and many argue that the occupation will continue only under a different guise. Have things really changed? Or has the occupation simply been rebranded? Jeremy Scahill, best selling author of Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army, Patrick Cockburn, journalist and author most recently of The Occupation:Is the Occupation Over?, Mariam Said's Story of a Lost World, and The Battle for Power in Honduras
July 6, 2009The US media have reported on the withdrawal of American troops from Iraqi cities. But what's the real story? Journalists Patrick Cockburn and Jeremy Scahill and Kristele Younes of Refugees International on what the withdrawal means. Mariam Said discusses her mother's memoir and life in Beirut, A World I Loved: The Story of an Arab Woman. And The Real News Network on the coup in Honduras.
