TMI 9/06/2014 – Steve Horn’s Keystone Clone, Yoon’s Polar Vortex Revelation, and much more!

Steve Horn of DeSmogBlog.com has been working all summer on a five-party series that shows how the focus on Keystone XL, while good in many ways, has distracted us from the efforts of Enbridge and the Federal Government to create what amounts to a clone of the dreaded KXL. He joins us by phone to go over what’s been going on while we were enjoying the halcyon days.

Then, Jin-Ho Yoon of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington is more concerned about winter. A study he coauthored had found that the Polar Vortex phenomenon that plagued is here in the U.S. last year may become the new normal, thanks to how arctic sea ice has been steadily disappearing.

We’ll have all that and more on TMI for Saturday, September 6th, 2014, live at noon Central on WSUM FM 91.7 in Madison and live streaming at http://wsum.org/ – tune in for your Cure for the Common Media!

TMI 9/7/2013: Not Allowing Syria to Dominate the Media (with Steve Horn)

Syria. Our potentially launching a missile campaign against Assad there has put a stranglehold on the media conversation this week, and one cannot argue that it doesn’t deserve the attention… but there are other things that also deserve the spotlight. Joining us live in-studio for the hour is friend-of-the-show Steve Horn of DeSmogBlog and MintPress News with critical updates on the Keystone XL Pipeline, the domestic fracking situation and how all of that ties back to the American/Russian geopolitical struggle that put and keep Snowden and Syria in the headlines.

TMI 7/20/2013: Gen. Petraeus’ Fracking Connections, ERM and More!

Did you know that refining tar sands actually cleans the air? Glad you said “no”, because it doesn’t, but Environmental Resources Management, who conducted the Keystone XL environmental impact statement wants you to think so! And this is the contractor group the Obama Administration is replying on to say if the Keystone XL pipeline is safe? Steve Horn joined us to discuss his piece on that as well as on how General David Petraeus has a seminar coming to CUNY this fall that uses loads of industry-spun data on fracking. Then, Al Suarez joined us to discuss the Edward Snowden Venezuela connections. All that and much more happened. Check out the podcasts below and get The Cure for the Common Media!

TMI 6/15/2013: Opposite States of America

We’ve fallen completely down the rabbit hole: Silent protests are being silenced, Keystone XL activists are being targeted as terrorists, and government snooping is being run by corporations.

First, we’re joined by Wendi, one of the many Wisconsin citizens who sat in the gallery of the state legislature with tape over their mouths as a show of protest over having had their opposition to a trio of horribly anti-women bills silenced. You won’t believe what happened then! Click and listen:

Then, we are joined by Steve Horn, investigative reporter for DeSmogBlog.com, who exposes not only the fracking involvement of Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, but also how federal agencies and private corporations have teamed up to brand peaceful Keystone XL pipeline activists as terrorists.

Finally – no matter what you think of Edward Snowden, the picture he’s illuminated is not one of Government-as-Big-Brother. It’s one of Government as the handmaiden to the corporations who are gathering our private data involuntarily and using it for their own profit.

All that and more was on TMI 6/15/2013 at Noon Central on WSUM 91.7FM in Madison, and live via any of the streaming apps and sources on the TMI Listen page. Be sure always to tune into what’s really going on!
