Special Midday Post: Syracuse Goes Global Edition

Hello,

For anyone seeing this blog in the Syracuse area, you should enjoy this news show. Democracy Now, which is shown on 900 stations worldwide, broadcast from Syracuse today (Nov 4th). I was able to see the host (Amy Goodman) speak last night in town. I had no idea she was going to cover these local issues.

They covered 2 very important local stories: Predator drone missions being flown from Hancock Air Base and subsequent arrests/trials of protesters against it. And, Syracuse’s ban of fracking was also debated. It’s a great listen. As an added bonus, they played a local artist during breaks (the show has no commercials). One guest (appears in the 2nd clip) is a Syracuse University professor as well.





Thanks for checking in,

James
