PBS Airtime: Friday, January 8, 2010, at 9 PM EST on PBS (check local listings at https://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/about/airdates.html).
While Wall Street is back in the black and the push for more regulation seems stalled, Americans are still struggling to keep their homes and jobs. How does Big Finance get away with it, and have lawmakers only patched a system headed for another economic crisis? Mother Jones journalists David Corn and Kevin Drum offer a hard look at the obstacles to real reform that keep Washington’s attention on Wall Street and not on the needs of Main Street. Also on the program, Moyers talks with author and humanitarian Greg Mortenson, whose best-selling books, “Three Cups of Tea” and “Stones Into Schools,” argue that education is the best way to peace in Afghanistan and across the Islamic world.
An urgent fundraising appeal: 4 Days to raise $30,000
Thank you for reading Truthout today. We have a brief message before you go —
Unfortunately, donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Trump is arresting journalists, Big Tech is censoring independent news, and economic conditions for media have been worsening for years.
Simultaneously, movement media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism is ever more urgent in this deluge of political censorship. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today during our fundraiser (4 days left).
