A weekly review of news at the intersection of media and democracy.
In this week's program: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting releases a report detailing the unethical behavior of former CPB board chairman Kenneth Tomlinson - but the full story remains to be told. Sinclair Broadcasting does not take dissent lightly, especially from former employees. Sony BMG, under fire for distributing CDs with copy protection that compromises Windows computers, faces further allegations of deceptive practices and...copyright infringement? The mid-term elections could be the most-advertised of all time. And a Fast Fact: The effectiveness of the FCC's Do Not Call registry.
