On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin talks with RT producer Manuel Rapalo about why people riot for sports, but not politics. She salutes local journalist Ben Swann for keeping tabs on power, and calls out anti-gay preacher John McTernan for saying that homosexuality caused Hurricane Sandy. To wrap up the show, BTS interviews activist, author and Roots Action campaigner David Swanson about the state of our democracy, and possible paths toward real change.
