In this week's program: The White House is caught red-handed staging a teleconference with troops in Iraq, while the Senate's Commerce Committee takes up the Truth in Broadcasting Act. San Francisco attracts a record number of bids from firms interested in building out its wi-fi network, although "free" access will come at a price. TV stations in the Fox network are being overhauled to become amplifiers for the Fox News Channel. And the squeeze is on in the newspaper business.

This program is free to all to air; please direct questions and comments to mediaminutes@freepress.net, thanks.
