Week In The News: Bad Water, School Shooting, Net Neutrality (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Poisoned water in West Virginia this week.  A chemical spill and a crisis on the Elk River and downstream.  Too little water in California.  Fire and drought.  And a trillion-dollar budget deal in Congress, where there haven’t been real budget deals for a long time.  We’ve got Chris Christie squirming.  Blame for Benghazi. A ruling against net neutrality.  And the President on the NSA.  The Supreme Court’s looking at abortion clinic buffer zones.  A school shooting, a supermarket shooting, and scandal in the nuclear missile officer corps.  This hour On Point: Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.
