This week on CounterSpin: In a world rife with military conflict, the Iran nuclear deal is cited as an example of diplomacy at work. It seems clear that Donald Trump wants to destroy the deal, in part by misrepresenting it. How should reporters cover White House maneuvers to depict Iran’s compliance as non-compliance, and make clear what’s at stake? We’ll talk with The Intercept‘s Murtaza Hussain about that.

Ag-Gag Laws by State (graphic: CCR/DRD)Also on the show: If the animal agriculture industry has nothing to hide, why do they want to criminalize documentation of their practices? And if they have something to hide, why are state legislators helping them cover it up by criminalizing investigation? We’ll talk with Chip Gibbons, journalist and policy and legislative counsel for Defending Rights & Dissent, about the group’s new report on “ag-gag” laws.
