Whose interests are being served? An FCC on the verge of a decision that favors big business over the public interest. A Supreme Court leaning more and more on the side of corporations. Plus, Bill Press talks with Ben & Jerry’s Ben Cohen about tax cuts for America’s wealthiest families.
This week, former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps on how losing net neutrality will be a loss for democracy. Nan Aron, founder and President of the Alliance for Justice on what she calls the “Corporate Court” under Chief Justice John Roberts. And Bill Press with Ben & Jerry’s Ben Cohen on who will benefit the most from the GOP tax plan.
