EPISODE BREAKDOWN: On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin remarks on the news that Canadian and British forces have all but withdrawn from Afghanistan, while the US continues to indefinitely pour money into the country's failed institutions. Abby then reports on the latest news from Ukraine, and speaks with John Feffer, Co-director of Foreign Policy in Focus, and Eric Draitser, founder of StopImperialism.org about what Crimea's referendum means for the people of Ukraine, and where superpowers fit into this geo-political tug of war. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with host and founder of The Young Turks, Cenk Uygur, discussing why he left his job at MSNBC, the corporate media's superficial coverage of news events and the recipe for success in alternative media.
