Our show this Sunday takes on five overheated myths, correcting them with cold fact to help you make a difference politically. Is global warming a crisis and our fault? Is Islam a religion of peace? Is light rail the ideal transportation solution? Are old white guys the face of the Republican Party? Does public education put the public interest first? The answers would be (more…)
