3. At 42:35 Mr. Reich gives a great example how bad our media is

Paraphrased, '...a producer gets into my ear and tells me to be more angry...'

Mr. Reich is a class act and gives a good presentation. At the end he also gives suggestions to reverse trend of our economy through political action. The two things he did suggest that stick out in my mind is to educate yourself and not to be afraid to politely confront people who disagree with you using facts!
