NOW with Bill Moyers; Big media merger; Shakespeare scholar Herman Gollum
Description:
A Senate sub-committee met for hearings on yet another big media merger, one that would create the biggest cable company in America. And since the Telecommunications Act of 1996, four giant corporations have come to control the music we hear on our airwaves in all the major metropolitan areas. These days, radio stations in your hometown that you think are live - and local - aren't. They are likely run by the media conglomerate Clear Channel. Bill Moyers and Herman Gollub talk Shakespeare. Moyers updates viewers on the death of terror-trainer Marwan Zaloum. New evidence comes to light in the administration’s covert war against Robert Watson over climate change. NOW WITH BILL MOYERS: A weekly news magazine, reported in conjunction with NPR, includes documentary reporting, in-depth one-on-one interviews, and insightful commentary from a wide variety of media-makers and those behind the headlines.
