“Like the organization that produces it— FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting)—CounterSpin challenges the bias of today's "corporate" media and brings perspectives to news stories that are rarely found in America's major media outlets. Janine Jackson is a thoughtful, articulate and intelligent host who leads accessible interviews with qualified subject matter experts on a variety of political, social justice and human rights issues few are brave enough to address with a broad worldview. CounterSpin isn't afraid to say--and let guests say--things that so many radio, tv and internet news shows avoid. There are some programs who simply use their bullypulpits to simply spew their own agendas or stick-to-the-script provided by their bosses. CounterSpin is refreshing in so many ways, not least of which is its respect for its audience; there's no "dumbing down" here, nor is there even a hint of stuffiness. I especially like that Jackson verifies facts presented in an episode and incorporate accurate media criticism into the discussion of the topic at hand, for how a story is presented determines how the public perceives the facts and their importance.”Read full review »

Corporations are using BLM to do superficial gestures...they don’t help working people with a living wage, environment justice, healthcare, etc. Corporations are not doing anything...”Read full review »

“CS gives me hope.
I subscribe to various news publications, including the NYT, WSJ, and Wash Post.
CS is necessary to balance their viewpoints and unfortunate bias towards money.
CS will continue to receive my subscription dollars before the others.”
