Newsbud Interview:  Peter B. Collins presents Prof. Robert W. McChesney
The FCC used to require radio and TV stations to provide equal time to political opponents, a standard that was jettisoned as Trump was given far more coverage than any others. We also discuss the future of Fox News after the scandal that exiled its brainchild, Roger Ailes, and how the Fox “virus” has infected its competitors.  And we talk about billionaires who are promoting the idea of more capitalism and less democracy, a theme in McChesney’s latest book.

While Congress maintains its refusal to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Obama administration has reduced the inmate population to 76, and only 10 of those have been charged with any crime. More than half of the remaining 66 men are cleared for release, 16 are awaiting a hearing, and the remaining 16 are expected to be held indefinitely, without charge or trial.  Andy Worthington explains the current situation at Guantanamo, and previews the state of affairs when Obama leaves office.
