LINK TV CONNECTS CITIZEN'S GROUPS WITH PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES FOR REAL INTERVIEWS ABOUT REAL ISSUES

THE PEOPLE'S VOICE: ELECTION 2004
(Premiere: Thursday, 12/18 @ 10PM ET / 7PM PT)

Will Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich call for the
impeachment of President Bush for lying about Iraq? As
President, would Howard Dean repeal the Patriot Act? How
exactly would John Kerry pass single-payer health insurance
through a Republican Congress? Is Joe Lieberman willing to
put pressure on Israel to accept the Geneva Peace Plan? To
get answers to these questions and more, tune in to Link
TV’s new election series — THE PEOPLE'S VOICE: ELECTION 2004
— featuring questions from the nation’s leading citizen’s
groups and membership organizations. THE PEOPLE'S VOICE
premieres on December 18th with Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

An election series without the usual suspects or mindless
chatter? Link TV promises just that — one hour, in-depth
interviews with each of the presidential candidates.
Featuring questions from the country's leading activist and
membership organizations, THE PEOPLE'S VOICE is leveraging
the power of television and a potential viewership of 21
million households to mobilize the mobilizers in the
upcoming election. From Iowa farmers to environmentalists
and the nation’s newest voters, Link TV is putting the
people back in the electoral process.

Throughout each program, banners will appear on the bottom
of the screen offering viewers other ways to get involved,
from registering to vote to volunteering for a candidate's
campaign to joining one of the citizen’s groups.

THE PEOPLE'S VOICE is hosted by Journalist Mark Hertsgaard,
Link TV's political correspondent, who has a national
reputation for probing deeper and asking provocative
questions: http://markhertsgaard.com

If not, appreciate play-by-play, and I will copy the channel # so I can tell the company I want this channel.

2. Transcript on-line of Kucinich interview

You're a day late, the show was last night. I posted a message on this Wednesday in General Discussion - but it got only two comments and sunk fast to oblivion!

Here is a link to Salon.com for an on-line transcript of the Kucinich interview.

3. Actually, I'm watching it right now.

At least a short stream. I was hooked up on Linux last night, so I didn't have Quicktime. They've archived a short bit of it as well for dial-up users.

4. Thanks for this link, DBDB!

I don't have a dish so was really bumming about not getting to see it. He's just such a great human being, and every time I see one of these one on one interviews, I get reminded just how caring he is.

5. It was an excellent interview -- read the transcript online

at Salon or at http://www.linktv.org

LINK TV also shows "Mosaic" online. "Mosaic" is a daily show that is a collage (videomontage?) of news footage from various Middle Eastern countries. It really helps you see different prespectives on events, as well as reporting of events we never see reported here.

And you can listen to some World Music free, including downloading a compilation CD for free. If you like a free sample, you can download a song for 99 cents. And they seem to be starting to show world music videos online, some of which are really something to see.

I wish everyone could have LINK TV! It's like PBS was in the early 70s, but more so.
