Laura Flanders
This week on CounterSpin: This week is one for the books, as a grand jury refused to charge any of the police officers responsible for killing Breonna Taylor with her murder, the president said he would not commit to a peaceful transition of power should he lose the election, and states continued plans to reopen, even as cases of Covid-19 are starting back up again.
The news often feels overwhelming. And overwhelm doesn’t generally encourage action. News media may not control what happens in the world, but the way they show it to us has a real impact on how we feel about it, and on what we think we can do about it.
Laura Flanders, the original host of CounterSpin and the former director of the Women’s Desk at FAIR, practices a kind of journalism that’s meant to encourage engagement, not just in the stories it tells, but in the people who tell them. The Laura Flanders Show is now moving to a bigger platform; it’ll be airing on public TV stations around the country. Apropos of that, we’ll talk with her about what she hopes the show can achieve.

Transcript: ‘Independent Media Is About Introducing People to Each Other’
I love what you’re doing too Janine. Always cutting edge stimulating analysis. I rarely miss an episode.
What I essentially think most in regard to is wellness matters.
On my own, I subscribe to magazines and catalogs oriented toward this subject,
and I retain enlightened about the most recent health studies.
In what way is this relevant? I feel there is no more critical concentration for my hours.
Also, this blog page seems as though it’s well worth my time to check out
again. I sift through thousands and thousands or more of personal
blogs weekly. Truth be told, my backbone nearly always is uncomfortable
and I desire a fresh diversion. lol Anyhow, I think if absolutely
everyone had written about their niche in the universe, and did it cogently, we’d have a much more cool Net. https://bloggingaboutnorthernnewjersey.blogspot.com/
