| Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (New York City) Lisa Graves on the Fight for the Post Office, Stevana Sims on Saving Anti-Racist Education Counterspin (regular weekly feature of TJR) Available at FAIR's website: fair.org/counterspin 2021 The idea has always been that postal service is a public good, not to be mined for profit, and not tiered to give the wealthy yet another leg up. That’s why it’s so worrying that the current leaders of the Postal Service seem intent on driving it into the ground. Also: If you didn’t know that K–12 teachers and college professors are under visceral attack simply for teaching the unvarnished truth of US history, it might be because somehow many free speech advocates, including in the press corps, haven’t taken on this disturbing encroachment on the rights of educators and students.

| Host Mike Gaworecki presenting biologist Diva Amon Exploring the deep sea: what we do and don’t know about biodiversity at the bottom of the ocean (10-16-2019) The Mongabay Newscast (special archival edition) Available at Mongabay's podcast page mongabay.com/podcast 2019 Plans to mine the ocean floor are moving forward around the world, especially around hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the sea that create deposits of valuable metals. But given the fact that humans have explored less than 1 percent of the deep sea, it’s fair to say that we really have no idea what’s at risk. Amon is here to talk about the findings of a recent study she co-authored about biodiversity and research effort at deep sea vents, what got her into studying the bottom of the ocean in the first place, and two of her favorite deep sea creatures: the Dumbo octopus and the headless chicken monster.

| Host Bob Funke (reading/commenting) Lockheed Earned a Profit During the Pandemic. Now Congress Wants It to Pay for Faulty Fighter Jets Article 7-22-2020 by Dan Spinelli posted at https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/07/lockheed-earned-a-profit-during-the-pandemic-now-congress-wants-it-to-pay-for-faulty-fighter-jets/ 2020 While this article is a bit old, it presents a classic picture of today's reality. This company made a billion dollars extra from the pandemic, and meanwhile its F-35 program is a monstrous comedy of errors. The company is resisting government demands for refund for defective parts. Congress was angry about this, and therefore ... did nothing about it.
