In this week's program: Soldiers on leave from Iraq are ordered to talk up the occupation to local media, in apparent violation of anti-propaganda laws. FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein wants official scrutiny of TV station charity-promotions. Sony BMG proposes a settlement for hacking PCs with anti-piracy software. The FCC leaves indecency be in 2005. NPR favors conservative pundits over liberals. And a Fast Fact: the dangers of practicing journalism in 2005.
