		Of Counterspin, Lewis says he finds that the best shows are those where the conversation flows feely and guests forget they are on camera.

		Starting October 28, counterSpin Sunday takes the counterSpin vehicle of passionate panels and articulate audiences, and sends it on a rambling road trip across Canada, firing back snapshots from communities that are being transformed by globalization.
		counterSpin Sunday is out to change that, by visiting communities where globalization is anything but an abstraction, and tapping in to the passionate debates that are resulting.
		For those who complain that counterSpin "hosts" are biased, I say I would rather hear a host put his or her true thoughts out, than have them hold back & wait to see which way the wind blows so they can say the "right thing" & look good.

		Just as Jackson began mentioning the reason for Coughlin's removal -- FAIR's sources indicate he was fired for running a news item about a boycott of Pacifica by several of its affiliated stations -- a musical interlude crudely interrupted the report and continued for 50 seconds, until after the Coughlin item was finished.
		Indeed, CounterSpin has also learned that a debate within Pacifica's national board has at least one member claiming the board was not involved in the decision, and demanding the action be reversed and Coughlin reinstated as news director.
		In July, a CounterSpin broadcast on KPFK was interrupted following an interview with Pacifica critics J. Imani and Norman Solomon when KPFK general manager Mark Schubb came on the air and spent the duration of CounterSpin's time slot commenting on Pacifica issues and taking calls from listeners.

	The Rise and Fall of "Counterspin"
		After four years of “Faceoff,” the basic concept was used for a new show, “Counterspin.” For “Counterspin,” which aired in 1999, Jay discovered that News- world was open to the idea of a single host, but that it would still have to be a debate program.
		Pedro Sanchez is another producer of “Counterspin.” He joined the CBC after spending years in alternative radio projects on Latin America, working as an activist in the Latin America solidarity movement and supporting anti-racist initiatives in Canada.
		“Counterspin’s” intermediate position between mainstream and alternative can be explained in terms of its insulation from corporate ownership, shared ideology, advertiser funding, dependence on official sources—which all contribute to homogenizing the content in mainstream media and prevent challenging viewpoints from being presented.
