Breaking the Set No. 150 -- 2013 Apr 23 TU

Boston: More Questions than Answers, Immigration Reform, CISPA: Activists and Opportunists

On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin talks to Mickey Huff, Director of Project Censored, about media coverage in the wake of the Boston bombings and how it feeds into the larger narrative of the 'war on terror'. Abby then speaks to Megan Carpentier, Editor of 'the Raw Story' about Obama's new immigration reform, and the chance of passing Congress in Washington's politically divisive climate. BTS wraps up the show by highlighting the hacker collective, Anonymous, as the day's heroes, for brining attention to the dangers of CISPA through online activism, and calls out Michigan Congressman, Mike Rogers, for his blatant conflict of interest in pushing CISPA through Congress, all the while standing to benefit financially from the legislation.
