Over the weekend thousands of anti-NATO protesters gathered in the Windy City to march against the organization’s apparent pro-war agenda. Dozens were arrested during the North Atlantic Treaty Organization conference in Chicago, Illinois. NATO was once thought as the protector of the world, but critics believe it has now become a global bully. J.A. Myerson, contributor for TruthOut.org, joins us with what he saw during the protest.
Press freedom is under attack
