This episode challenges the media's agendas in business and political news coverage. The debate over clean coal and how it has been dominated by two competing public relations campaigns that obscure the fundamentals of what's really going on; the debate over the little discussed fact that we currently still need coal and will for a long time in the future. This episode's mini-feature focuses on activist Alex Jones, a prime example of below-the-radar anti-government voices in the media today, and how he gets his non-conventional voice heard.

A fresh, unapologetic and frequently very funny perspective on a variety of issues affecting accurate, balanced reporting from leading news outlets.
