‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR MARCH 27, 2020: U.S. Now Has Most Coronavirus Cases… Federal Government Response Leaves Americans with Poor Prospects for Testing, Treatment or Sustained Economic Relief…Journalist Jon Jeter on Culture and Media…Plus Headlines


As the number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. now exceeds the number in any other country, including China, the federal government response leaves Americans with poor prospects for testing, treatment or sustained economic relief. We speak to political scientist and author Niambi Carter. And leave it to corporate media to provide only superficial coverage of the coronavirus crisis and the all-but-disappeared presidential race. We speak to journalist Jon Jeter. Plus many headlines on the fallout in DC, national, and international, of COVID-19.

The show is made possible only by our volunteer energy, our resolve to keep the people’s voices on the air, and by support from our listeners. In this new era of fake corporate news, we have to be and support our own media! Please click here or click on the Support-Donate tab on this website to subscribe for as little as $3 a month.
