On the August 26th edition of Your Call, it’s our Friday media roundtable. This week, we’ll discuss coverage of the United States’ role in Saudi Arabia’s yearlong war on Yemen.
We’ll also discuss a New York Times investigation about how think tanks have become vehicles for corporate influence. The report exposes how the Brookings Institution promoted Lennar Corporation’s $8 billion San Francisco Shipyard project while receiving some $400,000 from the company. Join the conversation on the next Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.

Andrew Cockburn, Washington editor for Harper’s magazine.
Tim Redmond, founder and editor of 48 Hill, an online non-profit San Francisco Progressive source for local news and culture
