July 20, 2007

"The Yes Men" Mike Bonanno and Andy Bichlbaum have discovered that high-visibility pranks can get major press attention for issues that would otherwise be ignored. Bill Moyers talks with the two impersonators, who use satirical "identity correction" to make serious points about media consolidation, journalism, business ethics and separating fact from fiction in a world of spin. Poet Martin Espada reflects on how heritage, immigration, violence and war have influenced his work. Espada reads from his new book THE REPUBLIC OF POETRY. And Bill Moyers highlights viewer mail.
