TV / Politics The Choice
Posted by Patrick Alan Coleman on Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 4:11 PM
I'm a big fan of PBS. It's probably the only thing I'll really miss when Kitty and I let our TV die in February on account of that there digital cross-over. One of the best programs on television has got to be Frontline. Granted, it's generally a whole ass-load of depressing, but in exchange, you get great journalism—and isn't that usually how it goes?
The folks at Frontline make it their personal responsibility to make sure America is informed about shit that it doesn't normally want to be informed about. Like, politics for example. Last week they aired a long program called The Choice, devoted to presenting an in-depth look into the campaigns and issues surrounding the two major presidential candidates.
By the way, what are you doing for the next two hours? Because, the entire program has been uploaded, compliments PBS, onto YouTube. It's embedded below for your education and edification. Enjoy!
