from CNN ireports-1

Apparently if you have a web connection you can upload a "citizen journalist iReport" to CNN. This is one Bob Johnson from somewhere in Michigan. I haven't figured out how to get this page to load with the ireport embedded such that it doesn't autoplay, but you can pause it indefinitely, or at least until your connection to HZ refreshes.

Robert Greenwald vs. the History Channel

www.stopkennedysmears.com -A petition telling the History Channel that until they stop running politically motivated fiction as historical "fact," you will refuse to watch their programming.

Robert Greenwald: "Joel Surnow, a hard-right activist and former Fox News producer who supported Rick Santorum and is close friends with Rush Limbaugh, is the executive producer of an upcoming mini-series on the Kennedys that is character assassination of the most disgusting kind.

Unfortunately, in its desperate quest for ratings, The History Channel has decided to let fiction pass for historical scholarship. The History Channel has decided to push Surnows sleaze, degrading the accomplishments and trashing the memory of one of our nations most beloved families."

Euronews interview with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdoğan

Sunday Morning- from 2003

from the 1st season of Dead Like Me, from the summer of 2003. I never watched this show during its original, brief two-season run, but then again I've never had any premium cable channels, and I think it was on Showtime. Nevertheless, having gotten past the silly intro sequence I'm growing fond of it now, watching it in its second or third life on Hulu.
