Every week, CounterSpin tries to bring you a look “behind the headlines” of the mainstream news. Not because headlines are false, necessarily, but because the full story is rarely reflected there—the voices, the communities and ideas that are not front and center in the discourse of the powerful, but could help us move toward a more equitable, peaceful, healthy communal life. Many—most—conversations we need to have, have to happen around corporate news media, while deconstructing and re-imagining the discourse that they’re pumping out day after day.
Guests featured in this special “best of” episode include:
- Paul Hudson, president of FlyersRights, on air travel chaos;
- Kamau Franklin, founder of Community Movement Builders, on Atlanta’s Cop City;
- Eric Thurm, campaigns coordinator for the National Writers Union, on artificial intelligence;
- Emily Sanders, editorial lead at the Center for Climate Integrity, on oil company lies;
- Kehsi Iman Wilson, chief operating officer of New Disabled South, on the Americans With Disabilities Act;
- Rodrigo Camarena, director of Justicia Lab, on wage theft;
- Peter Maybarduk, director of Public Citizen’s Access to Medicines group, on Covid-19 price-gouging.
CounterSpin is thankful to all of the activists, researchers, reporters and advocates who appear on the show. They help us see the world more clearly, as well as the role we can play in changing it. This is just a small selection of some of them.
