This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week on Act Out! you may know that corporate media lies to you – but do you know how? Here's a look at one of their favorite techniques. PLUS what you'll never hear covered on nightly news: Uncle Sam's very own climate refugees, how much of the planet's forests we have left & pipeline battles from the front lines. Two folks from Appalachians Against Pipelines join us to talk backstory, updates and inspiration in the face of the 300-mile-long proposed Mountain Valley Pipeline.
