In which I don’t really debate a guy from Canadian Auto Workers

I did an appearance on the Real News Network, a web TV operation currently based out of Toronto but planning a move to D.C. to take on the “industrial-military complex” in person. Part one is now online. (I could embed it here, but it’s pretty long.) The other guest was Jim Stanford, chief economist with the Canadian Auto Workers union. It was billed as a debate over whether GM should file for bankruptcy, but since I’ve turned kind of waffly on that it wasn’t all that much of a debate.

Stanford was in the studio up in Toronto. I was sitting in my office looking at the camera on my laptop, connected via Skype. The connection wasn’t great; I couldn’t hear about half of what Stanford said. But it was still a pretty cool way to do TV.
