Between The Lines Radio Newsmagazine6 days ago
COUNTERPOINT RADIO, hosted by Scott Harris, is heard every Monday night on WPKN 89.5 FM, Bridgeport, CT between 8:00 – 9:30 pm ET. Webstreaming and audio archive at http://wpkn.org

1) Norman Solomon, co-founder of RootsAction.org and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, talks about his latest book, "War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine," with a just published revised edition that includes a new afterword on the Gaza War. On the one year anniversary of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel, he'll examine the Biden administration’s unconditional support for Israel in the conflict, and corporate media's bias reporting on Israel's now expanding regional war that has resulted in the slaughter of more than 42,000 Palestinians and thousands more now being killed in Lebanon.

2) Parker Malloy, publisher of the Present Age newsletter, media critic and former editor-at-large at Media Matters for America, discusses her critique of corporate media for "sanewashing" Trump's often unhinged and incoherent speeches and interviews -- as well as soft-pedaling or sanitizing Trump and Vance's advocacy of disturbing policies such as Trump's 'violent day' of policing that will end crime, the lie that Democrats advocate the killing of babies after they're born, and Trump and Project 2025's plan for the US military to round up millions of immigrants (both legal and illegal) for mass deportation.

3) Aaron Regunberg, Senior Policy Advisor with Public Citizen’s Climate Program, discusses the focus on "Make Polluters Pay" legislation after the enormous destruction wrought by hurricane Helene in the southeast U.S. -- with a focus on legislation passed in Vermont, and similar bills proposed in California and New York.

4) Javier Porras Madero, an organizer and a historian of Mexico and Guatemala currently based in Mexico City, discusses the inauguration of Mexico's new president Claudia Sheinbaum, the issues she'll face as her nation's first woman president, touching on some of the issues covered in his article, "What’s Left of Morena?" re: the challenges ahead for Sheinbaum's Morena Party and Mexico's progressive left.
