Trump polled in 1st? WTF?

Donald Trump has come out on top in a recent poll in North Carolina, with a favorable rating of 55%. Greece has been given a Sunday deadline to remain in the European Union, while the UK’s Tory budget has been met with criticism for its ‘Living Wage’ which is well below the minimum wage. South Carolina has also voted to remove the Confederate flag in a contentious 1am vote. 

This week, Denis Campbell, editor of UK Progressive magazine, Phil Parry, former BBC anchor and editor of WalesPolitico.uk, and Falmouth University’s Dr. Dario Llinares (DarioLlinares.com) will be discussing these latest developments in global politics and media.

Today, three prominent journalists and critics of the media gathered to discuss the prevalence of public relations spin in mainstream news coverage. They argued that the current state of affairs is too often characterized by fawning and uncritical reporting. The panelists discussed the need for a more rigorous approach to journalism and the dangers of allowing PR spin to pass as news. They concluded by calling for greater transparency and accountability in the media industry.

This week Phil, Denis and guest muckraker Rick Spisak discuss:
