This week on CounterSpin: a special conversation with long-time author, activist and linguist Noam Chomsky. His latest book is called Failed States; we’ll talk about the state of democracy here in the United States, the so-called Bush doctrine of democracy promotion overseas, and we’ll get his thoughts on the current Mideast crisis. All of that in an extended interview this week on CounterSpin.

What’s FAIR

FAIR is the national progressive media watchdog group, challenging corporate media bias, spin and misinformation. We work to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. We expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled. As a progressive group, we believe that structural reform is ultimately needed to break up the dominant media conglomerates, establish independent public broadcasting and promote strong non-profit sources of information.
