On today's program, Tom asks why the mainstream media won't cover important issues like climate change, trumped up wars, and voter suppression, all of which are having massive consequences for the world we live in. To discuss this, Thom is joined by Russ Baker who has written extensively on the Bush family. Thom is also joined by Greg Palast, who doggedly pursues hard evidence of the methods used by Republicans to manipulate elections. And, Luke Vargas from Talk Media News drops in to update us on the state of international politics.
