Jim Lehrer: The NewsHour an alternative to the CBS Evening News, ABC World News and NBC Nighty News

Hi everyone, first I want to say happy thanksgiving to all of you. I hope ya had fun, ate and drink. Well not to much. Over the last few days. I've been watchin The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on PBS. Now those who do not who is Jim Lehrer. I'm gonna tell ya because this is how I make my money. Jim Lehrer is an newsman. He and his partner Robert MacNeil covered Watergate for PBS in 1974. In 1975 they both starred in The Robert MacNeil Report for WNET. It mainly focused on one story/topic. Sort of like Nightline. A few months after its was renamed The MacNeil/Lehrer Report. In 1983 it was renamed The MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour. The first and only evening news that is still to this day one hour. In 1995 Robert MacNeil retired and was renamed to its current name The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. It offers more in depth analysis then any of the three networks. It's combines the elements CBS Evening News with the most successful newsmagazine 60 Minutes. The NewsHour is a wonderful news program and and The NewsHour gives us the news that we need to know. So I encourage you to watch The NewsHour. It's on every weeknight at 6:00pm on WLIW 21 and at 7:00pm on WNET 13. From the American Archive of TV an interview with Jim Lehrer. CNN's legendary figure Bernard Shaw dubbed him the "Dean of Moderators" for covereing 10 presidental debates. This is part 3: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5528380488661809638 part 4 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2488687940835899487 part 5 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8005206259547986561 and Jim Lehrer on today's broadcast journalism http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhEyP4BZKio I hope all of you watch The NewsHour. Trust me you would like it. A part of our world for tonight. For the post I'm Christopher good night. See you again soon.

FCC Update

Hey guys how are you doing? Welcome to the post. Last Week on Bill Moyers Journal. Moyers gave us an update on Media Consolation in which the FCC will allow big media more control on what you see, hear and read. Here is that clip http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/11162007/watch.html
You have until Dec 11 to tell the FCC how you fell. Send them an e-mail at http://www.fcc.gov/contacts.html

This story will be updated in the coming weeks. You can tell the FCC that more media consolation is not only wrong and also undemocratic. That's a part of our world for today. For the post I'm Christopher De Lardge have a great day and eat turkey and pie. Lata
