Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (New York City) Weekly edition posted 7-5-22: Luke Harris and Joe Torres on America’s Racist Legacy
Counterspin (regular weekly feature of TJR) Available at FAIR's website fair.org/counterspin 2021
From July 30, 2021 (a year ago): Listeners will have heard of the campaign against ‘critical race theory,' a set of ideas of which rightwing opponents gleefully acknowledge they know and care nothing, but are using as cover to attack any race-conscious, that’s to say accurate and appropriate, teaching. CounterSpin put that cynical but impactful campaign in context in July 2021 with Luke Harris, co-founder and deputy director of the African American Policy Forum.

Often missing in the debate about “democracy threatened” is a simple but powerful notion: The best way to get at the truth is through a clash of ideas, driven by free and unfettered speech. In this week’s WhoWhatWhy podcast, we talk with professor Corey Brettschneider. He is an expert on the US constitution, editor of the Penguin Liberty series, and a professor of constitutional law and politics at Brown University. Brettschneider argues that we should view democracy not just as a process, a tool of governance, a way of casting and counting votes. What’s actually at stake in defending democracy are the underlying values that it represents: the free exchange of ideas that allows us to reason, debate, and seek the truth — concepts at the heart of the Enlightenment, and the design elements of the Founders when they shaped the US constitution. ...

This Week In Palestine (award-winning exclusive weekly feature of TJR For a description or download of this or any week's edition of T.W.I.P., go to TJR's website truthandjusticeradio.org 2022
This week we continue our exploration of the so called special relationship between the United States and Israel, a relationship that guarantees the continuing world power of this Apartheid state while it carries out its brutal military occupation of Palestinian land. In March of 2006, John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago, and Steven Walt Of Harvard published their seminal book revealing the machinations of the powerful Israeli Lobby. Mearsheimer has stayed with the subject ever since. Here he gives an update to the Special US/Israel relationship as he sees it through his research. We begin with his introduction to this forum sponsored by the Washington Report on Middle East ‘affairs in Washington, DC.
