On the September 9th edition of Your Call, it’s our Friday media roundtable. This week, we’ll discuss a new Buzzfeed investigation about how a private global court empowers corporations to bend countries to their will and help executives escape punishment.
We'll also discuss the continuing action against the $3.8 billion Dakota Access oil pipeline. Last weekend, Democracy Now filmed security guards attacking Native Americans with dogs and pepper spray. Tweet your questions and comments to @yourcallradio and join us live at 10 am with me, Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:
Chris Hamby, Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist with Buzzfeed
Mark Trahant, independent journalist and professor of journalism at the University of North Dakota
