On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we’ll discuss the “China Cables,” an unprecedented cache of classified government documents obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. They reveal the internal workings of detention camps holding over a million Uighurs and other ethnic minorities in China.
Later in the show, we’ll talk about how the housing crisis has forced thousands of families to live in their cars in Salinas, California.
