In this week's program: Could a push to criminalize broadcast indecency be brewing? Telecom companies continue their push to squelch community internet projects state-by-state. The BBC admits to airing military propaganda, while more cases of spin masquerading as journalism surface in the U.S. Pope John Paul II's last apostolic letter involved media and media reform. And a Fast Fact: American children spend more time consuming media than their parents do working.
