Today James talks to Claire Bernish, an independent reporter for The Pontiac Tribune and The Anti-Media, about her recent report, "Nestle Pays Only $524 to Extract 27,000,000 Gallons of California Drinking Water." We talk about the (expired) permit that has allowed Nestle to pump the water from the San Bernardino National Forest for decades, the effect it is having on California's drought-ravaged ecosystem, the growing movement to draw awareness to the issue, and reddit's censorship of Bernish's viral article.
