Bill Moyers Journal takes a tough look at the hostile industry of Shock Jock media with a hard-hitting examination of its effects on our nations political discourse. The Journal traveled to Knoxville, where a recent shooting at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church has left the pastor asking what role hateful speech from popular right-wing media personalities may have played in the tragedy.

"We're going to pull back and regroup and figure out a better way to come at this," Sheehan told NOW.

But with federal minimum wage bills stalled in Congress and no minimum wage initiatives on the Texas ballot this year, many workers feel stuck in a cycle of economic desperation.
Last year, over 5000 Houston janitors signed up with the SEIU, the Service Employee's International Union, to press for living wages and benefits that at least match those found in other states.
