May Day: Demanding workers’ rights, repeating Vietnam; lies, bloodshed & perpetual war

Abby Martin talks to RT political commentator Sam Sacks about international workers day, the history of the labor movement, and unionization vs ‘right to work’. Then Kevin Gosztola, journalist with firedoglake.com, talks about the constant barrage of misinformation presented by the corporate media in regards to the Boston bombings and how to cut through the distorted facts. Finally, a look back at the anniversary of Bush’s ‘mission accomplished’ debacle and the fall of Saigon, drawing parallels between the Vietnam and Iraq wars, and the government manipulation of facts that led the US into these bloody conflicts.
