Your Call 042409 Media Roundtable

On the next Your Call it's our Friday media roundtable where we hold American media accountable for getting us the news we need. This week South Africans went to the polls, the Justice Department released its memos authorizing torture and President Obama gave a speech at the CIA. We'll be joined by independent reporter Dahr Jamail and, from South Africa, Charlayne Hunter-Gault. Send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org or join us live at 11 am. Where did you see the best reporting this week? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
