Leid Stories

Leid Stories shares the latest developments on two major stories it has been following and are on the brink of explosive resolution -- the self-induced collapse of General Electric, and the total exposure of the cash cow the Clinton's ran as a charitable foundation. We also continue with our media-literacy exercises in how to find the story behind the story.

Listeners analyze coverage of major news issues and developments and discover that the more they "know," the more they need to know to fully appreciate the significance of the story.

Leid Stories looks at a few stories that illustrate how the mainstream media define what is news.

Leid Stories is here for you with another edition of "Free Your Mind Friday," the best open forum in Medialand.

Leid Stories concludes yesterday's media literacy exercise, providing time for callers who were done in by the evil time clock.

Leid Stories examines some recent and current stories that illustrate how the media have redefined their role and function in our society.

Ongoing protests against systemic government corruption in Haiti got new energy yesterday as thousands joined a popular movement demanding the resignation of President Jovenel Moise and many high-level government officials. Yesterday's renewed protests coincided with the nation's observance of the 215th anniversary of Bataille de Vertieres,  when Haitians struck a decisive blow against France in a fierce battle for independence. Journalist, author (most recently, We Have Dared to Be Free: Haiti's Struggle Against Occupation) academician and research  biologist Dady Chery has written extensively on Haitian history and developments in Haiti. She explains the sinister roles many foreign entities have played, and attempt to play, in the shadows of popular uprisings in Haiti.

Leid Stories discusses these--and, time permitting, other--stories today.

Retired Wall Street banker and  corporate- and charity-fraud expert Charles Ortel reveals bombshell developments in two high-profile, self-initiated fraud investigations he has spent more than a decade warning the public about---General Electric Corp. and the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

President Donald Trump is at the center, not surprisingly, of our discussion today--including an analysis by newsjunkiepost editor in chief Gilbert Mercier on how European leaders seem to be reacting to the president and his new-found belief in "nationalism."

Leid Stories proudly salutes women and men who have served, or are serving, their country in the armed forces. even though their country has not always served them.

It's our weekly open forum, and you're invited to say what's on your mind. Just don'te be surprised if someone takes you on. Call 888-874-4888 and give us a piece of your mind.  

A lot to think and talk about on Leid Stories today--and that's the general idea.  

Votes cast in yesterday's nationwide midterm elections are still being tallied, and results in many key races have not yet been certified. But one thing's for sure: The midterms most certainly were unusual, with President Donald Trump casting himself as strategist-in-chief of a no-holds-barred battle to utterly destroy the Democrats and usher in the era of the one-party state. It appears that will not happen. Democrats are on track to win the House, and though Republicans might hold on to the Senate, they will be within striking distance in 2020. Historian, political scientist and author Dr. Gerald Horne, who holds the John J. and Rebecca Moores chair of history and African American studies at the University of Houston, discusses key takeaways from the midterm elections.
