This week our panel tackles a number of thorny issues, including:

– Is social media as effective at leading to social change as we’ve been led to believe? In what ways do social media help bring genuine change and in what ways has there been more hype than results?

– Now that Crimea has voted to join Russia, is there anything to stop this annexation? What is the United States’ role? Is this really so terrible for the people of Crimea?

– More musical acts are joining the SeaWorld boycott inspired by the documentary, “Blackfish.” Will the theme park chain be able to weather this storm or is SeaWorld facing rough waters ahead?

– There’s a new iPhone app called “Cloak” that’s described as an “antisocial network” because it allows users to avoid running into social media contacts they’d rather avoid. Will this prove to be a useful and popular app? If so, who’s the target audience?

All this and another patented #NoFilter rant from host Ana Kasparian, this time about the haters, trolls and a-holes who joined the chorus of condemnation when blogger Amanda Marcotte declared that she doesn’t want children.
