Dr. Stephen Bird, Academic Director of the National Journalism Center, joins us to talk about responsible journalism as it pertains to our recent article about Bill Ayers (coming soon on wtpshow.com)
During this week’s section of “The Statist Quo,” we talk about the Supreme Court’s decision of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission — the ruling that overturned major campaign finance regulations restricting the donations from corporations, unions, and individuals.
In hour two, we are joined by native Bostonian – Sarah Liebenrood. We discuss the historic election of Scott Brown and the youth involvement in the race. We also address questions from facebook fans about Bill Ayers, get an update from Dan Proft – Illinois gubernatorial candidate, and talk with Kathy Wassink of Riverbend 9-12 about getting out the vote!
