This week on CounterSpin: This week marks the two-year anniversary of
the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Media will be checking in on the
Gulf to mark the anniversary—but what will their reporting on this
ongoing environmental catastrophe look like? We'll talk to journalist
Antonia Juhasz about her new report in the Nation, "Two Years Later: BP's Toxic Legacy."
Also on the show: Comments CNN contributor Hilary Rosen about Mitt
Romney's wife induced the punditocracy to take up questions of women’s
work – and that's never pretty. But besides the silly things that were
said, what about some of the questions that weren't explored – like,
who's Hilary Rosen? Our guest says it's more Rosen's day job than her
off the cuff comments that warrants scrutiny. Journalist Lee Fang is
senior investigator at the Republic Report.org.
