Election Focus 2020This week on CounterSpin: As we record on Thursday, November 5, corporate media headlines would have you think it’s still a legitimately tight race for president, because they’re holding up Biden’s larger number of votes and delegates alongside Trump’s efforts to huff and puff and blow the house down. Part of the problem are media so invested in a both-sides, major-party frame that, even after election 2020, they fail to highlight the bigger break: between those who believe in the democratic project and those who do not. We’ll talk about the ongoing election with Steven Rosenfeld, editor and chief correspondent of Voting Booth, a project of the Independent Media Institute.

Also on the show: Uber, Lift and DoorDash bankrolled the most expensive campaign in US history to push through Proposition 22 in California, so they can keep denying workers benefits. The potential impact is huge for all gig workers, but if you were hoping to hear what they thought, skip reports like the New York Times‘ on November 4: It found zero workers to quote, but did manage to get hold of Uber’s chief executive, a venture capitalist advisor to Uber and the campaign’s press release. We’ll get a different view from Rey Fuentes, Skadden Fellow at the Partnership for Working Families and co-author of the report Rigging the Gig.
