Breaking the Set No. 272 -- 2013 Nov 06 WE

Direct Democracy Success, Top Five Obama Failures, Media Cracks Out on Toronto Mayor

On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin remarks on recent ballot initiatives that are reshaping social politics, highlighting marijuana legalization in Maine, and same-sex marriage in Illinois. Abby then speaks with BTS producer, Manuel Rapalo, breaking down the top five worst policies of Obama's presidency thus far. Abby then calls out the corporate media for focusing on Toronto Mayor's one-time crack use, while ignoring far more important Canadian issues such as massive tar sand extractions and industrial spying. Abby then tells the story of a New Mexico man who was forced to endure eight separate anal procedures, after police suspected that he was in possession of narcotics. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with Tim Karr, senior director of strategy at Free Press, about the future of Net Neutrality and a pivotal court case that could decide the future of the Internet.
