This week on CounterSpin: the best of CounterSpin for 2021. We talked with Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, activist, attorney and executive director of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, on January 7. The Covid pandemic highlighted many, many fault lines in US society, many aided and abetted by deficient media coverage. It might seem like 2021 was a head-spinner, but don’t get distracted. We spoke with David Cooper, senior economic analyst at the Economic Policy Institute, and deputy director of EARN, the Economic Analysis and Research Network.
