Democracy Now!: Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2009

We talk to James Hoggan, who has just published a book on corporate efforts to mislead the public on human-driven climate change, "Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming." In the news, the House Judiciary Committee plans to vote on repealing the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945, which has granted the insurance industry a captive market with no curbs on price fixing and other anti-competitive practices, and The Yes Men prank the Chamber of Commerce. "Democracy Now!" is a daily independent newshour.
