Many news consumers say that they prefer objective journalism: no spin, no opinion. But what kind of media actually stimulates action, and enhances civic engagement? Well, it depends.

This hour, guest host Rob Ferrett talks about objective versus opinion media with Bob McChesney, host of Media Matters.
