work behind the daily news.

Special Program: War of Deception
More
Information and Broadcast Times
Link TV examines the War of Deception
-�the hazy pretext that led the United States to�invade Iraq�and
the media's failure to ferret out the truth.� Why did the mainstream media
do such a bad job in the run-up to the Iraq War?�Was the media complicit,
cowardly or merely lazy?� Are we really in Iraq for the oil? Journalist
Amy Goodman, one of the Bush Administration and Iraq war's
fiercest critics� joins host Mark Hertsgaard in the studio to
discuss the failures, and perhaps the triumphs, of the media coverage of the
Iraq War.

Special Program: Lifting the Hood
More
Information and Broadcast Times
Four hours of special programming that
reveals some of the tactics our government is using to fight the war on
terror.�As Congress debates the NSA's wiretapping of American citizens,
Link TV takes a broader look at our government's information gathering around
the world.� These programs and interviews point to a wide-ranging policy to
fight the war on terror using any means: the torture and killing of prisoners,
rendition, and extralegal imprisonment�even against our own
citizens.�Although difficult to watch, Lifting the Hood is
essential viewing for an informed society.

Video of the Week
Artist: The Pinker Tones
Song: "Sonido Total"
Country: Spain
View This Video Now!
�
This Barcelona based duo is making waves with their digital and analog based m�lange of Latin, house, lounge and whatever else crosses their minds to inject into their music. These humorously self-professed geniuses (Mister Furia and Professor Manso) were childhood buddies who met up again as adults, and discovered that they were living not 100 meters from each other.� The rest, as they might say, is history. While "Sonido Total" comes across like pure pop, the acoustic interlude gives away its Latin underpinnings.� The video itself is a heady, happy romp�if you've got music in your head, the sky -- or for that matter outer space -- is the limit!
Remember that you can own much of the music featured on our music blocks by visiting our online music store. We have either CDs or 99 cent song downloads available for many of the artists on our 59 playlists. Check them out

Best Viewer Comments Of The Week

The Witness - Thank you for doing such an eye opening documentary
on the plight of thousands of animals worldwide sacrificed to fashion.� It
is heartening to know that one person CAN make a difference in our world - and
that that one person can effect a change to society. It inspires others to take
up the cause to end cruelty everywhere - to animals AND humans.
