that receive disproportionate coverage on corporate media, thereby crowding out more-significant issues. This week's

the insidious social effects of junk-food news, and to discuss their work and this year's chapter.

Author and editorial cartoonist Ted Rall is the first guest; he explains the latest developments
in his legal battle with the Los Angeles Times, and the wider problem of how big corporations
now use anti-SLAPP statues to stop less-powerful plaintiffs from having their cases heard by juries.
In the second half of the show, Robert Manning and Kenneth Dubroff introduce a new grassroots-based
nuclear-disarmament advocacy group they created, and how they hope to influence decision-makers.
