James Weinstein discusses the independent socialist magazine “In These Times”

BROADCAST: Jul. 14, 1997 | DURATION: 00:51:28

Synopsis

Weinstein states how at the time of creation for this magazine, most newspapers were bipartisan, intended to serve and satisfy as many people as possible, which allowed for less and less variation of opinion; Weinstein sought to combat this by producing a magazine that was very assured in its views. Studs plays "We Shall Not Be Moved" - Pete Seeger (1955).
