Human Rights?? U.S. Hypocrisy on Full Display as Beijing Olympics Open

On today's In the News roundtable, Brian Becker, Esther Iverem, Nicole Roussell and Walter Smolarek discuss how the U.S. corporate media subjected viewers to wall-to-wall war mongering propaganda targeting the government and people of China as the Olympics opened in Beijing. They also discuss how pro-Trump forces consolidate their control of the Republican Party, a new report on Israeli apartheid against Palestinians, protesters demanding justice for Amir Locke, and more.
