FRONTLINE "News War" (Part III) at pbs.org/frontline

Markos Moulitsas of Daily KOS talks with FRONTLINE about the future of news. Part 3 of "News War: What's Happening to the News" puts viewers on the front lines of the epic battle, examining the forces which are remaking the economics of the business and challenging the very definition of news.

Watch it on air and online at
http://www.pbs.org/frontline/ beginning February 27.

In "News War: What's Happening to the News," coming Feb. 27, 2007, at 9 pm on PBS (check local listings). America's major network news
divisions and daily newspapers are under siege, facing mounting pressure for profits from corporate owners, and growing challenges from cable television and the Internet. FRONTLINE talks to network executives, journalists, Wall Street analysts, bloggers, and key players at Google and Yahoo! who are all battling for survival and market dominance in a rapidly changing world of news. FRONTLINE also goes inside the embattled newsroom of "The Los Angeles Times," one of the last remaining papers in the country still covering major national stories. Under severe pressure from Wall Street to cut costs and to compete for "eyeballs" in a new media world, editors at the paper are urgently trying to figure out what this means for their future news coverage and their public service mission.

i think both far right wing and left wing people act like idiots and look down upon the people, although the left take it a lot worse when they are criticized

Liberals need a little more cheese with their whine. Liberals love the manipulation of language, fancy exaggerated statements and manipulative pbs show titles rather than level open debate. Liberals do not believe that worldwide radicals have historically hated America NO MATTER WHAT. Liberals do not believe that YOU can think for yourself, rather you need to be 'programmed' with more liberal fantasy-think.

In the lead up to the Invasion of Iraq where could you have gotten News that was closer to the truth of what was ACTUALLY happening in REALITY? Cable News or Dailykos?

Kos = liberal douchebag and a former for like-minded liberal demicritter hamsterados. A venue where these little rodent-like fur balls can squeak and sqeel and get their fur all in a wad.
