A five-minute weekly review of news at the intersection of media and democracy.

This week's show:

Community and municipal wireless networks are springing up around the country while opposition from telecom companies ramps up at the state level. Unions and other groups find it difficult to get access to the mainstream media, even if they're willing to pay for it. And the Government Accountability Office flags the Drug Czar for running afoul of prohibitions against the distribution of propaganda.
