Media Roundtable

This week we'll discuss coverage of the watered down healthcare reform bill, the climate change conference in Copenhagen, and soaring profits on Wall Street. Where is the money coming from? We'll be joined by the Christian Science Monitor's Mark Trumbull, Circle of Blue WaterNews's Aubery Parker, just back from Copenhagen, and the Huffington Post's Ryan Grim. Where did you see the best reporting this week and where did the media fall short?

Guests:
Mark Trumbull, staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor

Ryan Grim is the senior congressional correspondent for the Huffington Post.

Aubrey Parker, news reporter with Circle of Blue WaterNews and guest blogger for Detroit Free Press at the COP15, the Climate Conference in Copenhagen.

Regarding my comments today on Your Call re the new movie, "Precious":

Example articles by Joseph Anderson, regarding such controversies, on the issue of 'Black psychopathologies', in particular Black males as virulent misogynists and sexual predators, as popular stereotypes portrayed by television, Hollywood and the recording/music/entertainment industry -- such images inspired the quintessential political rap group, Public Enemy, to write the song (and produce the video) "Burn Hollywood Burn!"
