Fast forward to today and the FCC Chair that Obama appointed is leading a vote that could end net neutrality. Today's pivotal vote will decide on a new set of regulations that critics say will create a two-tiered system for the Internet. We speak with Craig Aaron of the media reform group Free Press. - Local Community Radio Act Passes in Congress Community radio advocates are celebrating a major victory after the Senate approved the Local Community Radio Act on Saturday, one day after its passage in the House. The bill will open up more of the radio dial for Low Power FM, with the FCC now mandated to license thousands of new stations. We speak with Hannah Sassaman of the Philadelphia-based Prometheus Radio Project. - As Dems Work to Ratify START Treaty, Jonathan Schell Says U.S.-Russia "Nuclear Standoff" Defies "Rational Explanation" The White House is predicting victory in its long-running standoff with Republicans on a nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia. The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or New START, calls for the United States and Russia to cut their deployed arsenals to 1,550 nuclear warheads and 700 missile silos and bombers each. We speak with leading nuclear disarmament advocate, Jonathan Schell. - Part II...Feminists Debate Sexual Allegations Against Julian Assange We play Part II of the debate between feminists Jaclyn Friedman and Naomi Wolf over the sex crime allegations against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Freed on bail in London, Assange hasn't been charged, but is wanted in Sweden for questioning on sexual crimes allegations. Assange and his supporters have said the case is part of a wider conspiracy to discredit him because of his work with WikiLeaks, but some in the feminist community have accused WikiLeaks supporters of minimizing violence against women.
