On the next Your Call, it's our Friday media roundtable -- the day we connect you with reporters to discuss coverage of the week's news. This week, President Obama's stimulus package was once again the subject of fierce partisan battles for front pages and air time. On the whole, did the media you perused serve your interests and not the interests of the partisans? After three weeks of debate, do you know what is in the bill and what was left out? We'll be joined by The Nation's John Nichols and David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer prize winning author of Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expensive (and Stick You with the Bill). Where did you see the best reporting this week and where did it fall short? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:
David Cay Johnston in Albany
Pulitzer Prize winner, former New York Times tax reporter and author of Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You with the Bill). Johnston is now a columnist for the trade journal Tax Notes
John Nichols in Madison
