A petition to stop TV infotainment programs calling themselves "News". Broadcasters are granted part of the spectrum by the government (read: the public) on the condition that they provide programs that serve the public interest. While the above petition can be seen as a joke, it's pretty much spot on. Even in the framework of the (completely skewed) existing laws, most broadcasters are well below any reasonable standard.
Tear Gas: Harassing Agent or Toxic Chemical Weapon?
One great article, newspost after the other. That's why I get all my news from Misnomer. No more tv for Oliver. Keep the news coming, Dru- It's a relief- Rocky Mountain could do the boycott thing or have a big tv bashing. - I am afraid that includes PBS (and NPR too). Speaking of which did you happen to catch the "Shed Boy" story out of Port Townsend broadcast over NPR? - Pretty lame - and I knew just about all of the participants.Your Argosy was great. Keep me thinking - thanks, bruce
