This week on CounterSpin : a source from a senior citizens group quoted in the Washington Post said the group’s main challenge today is simply to try to keep the record straight about what's actually in the health care reform bill, as opposed to what’s being claimed about it. That would seem to be the basic challenge facing reporters, too, but have they been too caught up with coverage of congressional politicking to do justice to it? We’ll hear from journalist Trudy Lieberman on that.

Also on the show: Two EPA lawyers have been speaking out against cap and trade climate legislation, saying that these schemes won't do enough to reduce carbon emissions. Making their position public has got them into trouble with the agency, and certainly puts them at odds with leading Democrats and the Obama White House. We'll speak with Laurie Williams and Alan Zabel about their position on cap and trade, and the problems they've encountered in trying to make their case.
