Independent Media, the Journalism Crisis, and the Occupy Phenomenon    <--- Click here
On November 27th I gave a talk at the All Souls Forum on the journalism crisis, how the internet is neither cause nor cure, and why everybody needs to think about amending the U.S. Constitution to overturn Citizens United, and to dealing with the journalism crisis and media reform, and why the Occupy phenomenon is already the most hopeful sign of a surviving democracy in this country in decades.

On the December 20, 2011 edition of Tell Somebody, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern takes a look at the National Defense Authorization Act and its provisions for indefinite detention of American citizens - could this pave the way for, among other things, using the military to put down the Occupy movement?  And attorney Kevin Zeese talks about the pre-trial hearing of whistleblower Bradley Manning.
