Is that the takeaway? We'll get another angle from journalist and activist Norman Solomon. <br> Also on the show: Anonymous news sources are a journalistic scourge, abetting some of the worst policies of our times, and allowing the powerful to escape accountability. But are they simply an occasional problem in reporting, or central to the way corporate journalism operates? We'll talk to Salon's Glenn Greenwald about his report on the subject, The Fundamental Unreliability of America’s Media. http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/100115_100001cspin.MP3 http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/100115_100001cspin.MP3 Fri, 15 January 2010 15:00:01 GMT Counterspin Public Affairs Haiti's status as the poorest nation in the hemisphere has been mentioned time and again by journalists covering the current catastrophe, but where were journalists before the earthquake hit? And how are they doing in explaining the larger context of how Haiti got to this point? We'll talk to Bill Fletcher, former president of TransAfrica Forum and executive editor of The Black Commentator. <br> Also on the show: Charles Overby is CEO of the Freedom Forum, a foundation ostensibly dedicated to principles of free speech and a free press. He's also a director and shareholder of the Corrections Corporation of America, the largest private jailer in the country. In both roles, Overby engages the public's right to know... but not in the same way. We'll get that story from journalist Beau Hodai. http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/100108_100001cspin.MP3 http://archive.wbai.org/files/mp3/100108_100001cspin.MP3 Fri, 08 January 2010 15:00:01 GMT Counterspin Public Affairs
