Galavision, a Mexican network, available in the U.S., has some kick-ass news coverage of labor issues in the U.S. which, in a way, send precisely the kind of signals needed to regulate the North American black market in labor.

The Weather Channel has an ecological update. I’m not sure if it’s daily but today they were covering n^th angle of global warming and pollution in the Gulf of Mexico. Did I mention this was the Weather Channel?

FX’s “30 Days” program, which is fronted by the director of “Supersize Me,” did an excellent show wherein they paired a (Cuban-American) member of the Minutemen with an illegal immigrant family. It’s one of the best treatments of this complex issue I’ve ever seen. Whoever “cast” this documentary-in-disguise should win a few Emmies and a development deal.

The Changing World is a new-ish and excellent radio program. Their installment about the U.S.-Mexico border is one of the best synopses of that long and complicated story. (It’s an mp3.)
