FAIR TV: Striking Syria, War on Your 401K, ‘Redskins’ on the Radio

This week: War on Syria has been called off, at least for now, and that seemed to bother a lot of pundits. ABC looked at how the war would have affected your 401(k), assuming you have one. And a radio station rejects an ad criticizing the “Washington Redskins” for using an ethnic slur as a team name–maybe because the station is owned by the same guy who owns the team.

Amazing! This blog looks exactly like my old one!
It’s on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout
and design. Superb choice of colors!

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.
