Your Call: Standing Rock standoff; Calais camp demolition

On the October 28th edition of Your Call, it’s our Friday media roundtable. This week, we’ll discuss the forced removal of refugees from the camp in Calais, France.

We’ll also discuss coverage of the longstanding peaceful protest against the Dakota Access pipeline.
