Boston: More questions than answers, Immigration reform, CISPA activists & opportunists

On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin talks to Mickey Huff, Director of Project Censored, about media coverage in the wake of the Boston bombings and how that feeds into the larger narrative of the ‘War on Terror.’  Abby then speaks to Megan Carpentier, Editor of Raw Story, about Obama’s new immigration reform and the chance of it passing Congress in Washington’s politically divided climate. BTS wraps up the show by highlighting the hacker collective Anonymous as the day’s heroes for brining attention to the dangers of CISPA through online activism, and Abby calls out Michigan Congressman Mike Rogers for his blatant conflict of interest in pushing CISPA through Congress, all the while standing to benefit financially from the legislation.
