On the next Your Call it's our Friday media roundtable where we bring in reporters from the mainstream, alternative and international press to discuss the week in American media. This week, California voters -- those who voted, anyway -- rejected the slate of budget reform ballot measures. Congress passed credit card reform and Binyamin Netanyahu visited the White House. We'll be joined by independent journalist Danny Schecter, Brian Leubitz of Calitics and Lawrence Pintak, from Arab Media & Society. Send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org or join us live at 11 am. Where did you see the best reporting this week and where did it fall short? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
