so, how is "frontline" on pbs generally regarded? i watched a program
about two nights ago on iran and it was absolutely facinating.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontl...down/(watcheda program a
couple days ago on iran/iraq and that was facinating too) (and i saw a
program a couple months ago about enron that was incredible) i'd
imagine
people would say "frontline" has a left leaning bias.

There are people who would say that C-Span has a left-leaning bias. g

Frontline is a top-notch show. "Cheney's Law," a one-hour program that's
been running frequently over the past couple of weeks, was excellent.
Because Frontline focuses on big issues and big institutions, such as
government, its perceived "bias" depends a lot on who's in power. But it
often examines issues from the standpoint of someone doing something wrong
to someone else, so it's at least anti-institutional, which probably is
perceived as anti-establishment.

They archive their shows online and you can watch them there, for free:

I wish Frontline would do a show on Bush's military service. As much as
Rather was pilloried for his inaccurate story about Bush's stint in the
Texas air national guard I can't help but think there is more to the story
than we know. It has the smell of something not right. In the end I wouldn't
be surprised to find out some years after Bush is out of office that many,
if not all, the accusations about his special treatment, absenteeism, family
nepotism, and the rest will be found to be true. Much the way that the case
for the war in Iraq was a lie and is now well known. What's the saying? The
truth will out. What do you bet that down the road Rather will be shown to
have been right about Bush's military service all along?

Actually we don't know that Rather's story was inaccurate...just that
he was fed some forgeries.

By who...hmmm...it wouldn't be the first time "dirty tricks" were used
by the Right.

Actually if you followed the story you noticed that many people
involved suddenly had developed amnesia when asked about Bush Jr.'s
service....a real tell that there IS a story to be told.

If you follow the tactics of the Bush camp, they love to smear true
vets....first McCaine and then Kerry.

It also explains why Bush loves to cut funding to the vets.....use
them and lose them is his game.
