Breaking the Set, No. 012 -- 2012 Sep 19 WE

Abby calls out the corporate media for over-polarizing presidential candidate Mitt Romney's leaked video of the 47% of 'entitled Americans', and instead talks about the growing Military Industrial Complex and continued US Military spending in light of impending budget cuts. Abby interviews outspoken journalist and US Congressional Candidate, David Seaman about the slow erosion of civil liberties in America. In the wake of the one year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street Abby asks "where does the movement go from here," and is joined by Occupy journalist, Dustin Slaughter to discuss how the movement can regain visibility. Abby wraps up the show with a look at American law enforcement agencies using social media to track and datamine Americans by highlighting the case of Melvin Colon, where police used Facebook photos to indict him for gang and drug related charges.

There are way too many rules set in society that prop up the establishment -- an establishment that works to divide and conquer the people. 'Breaking the Set' seeks to smash through the Left/Right Paradigm set in the media and political establishment to find the middle ground: the truth. It is a show that cuts through that pre-established narrative which tells the people what to think and what to care about.
