Link to the Show / Show NotesThis week on CounterSpin: Turkey voted on a package of constitutional reforms this month. The message you heard in much of the media coverage is that the victory for the ruling Islamic party, Justice and Development, is more evidence that Turkey is drifting in the wrong direction, shunning the West and playing to its Islamic majority. But does this analysis make sense? We'll talk to author and professor Reza Aslan.
Also on the show: More so-call free trade agreements are on the White House agenda; Obama says they're the way to increase exports which is the way to create jobs. He won’t get any pushback on that from the corporate press corps who never met a free trade deal they didn’t love, but what if the whole 'FTAs lead to export growth' idea is flawed? Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch has a new report that says just that. We'll hear from its co-author Todd Tucker.
