t r u t h o u t | Programming Note

Wednesday 02 January 2008

PBS Airtime: Friday January 4, 2008, at 9:00 p.m. EST on PBS (check local listings at http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/about/airdates.html).

What do the results in Iowa say about the press and politics? In two interviews, Bill Moyers talks with candidates shut out of key debates - Paul by Fox News from an upcoming debate in New Hampshire and Kucinich by Iowa's biggest newspaper, The Des Moines Register, in December.

On the Friday after the Iowa caucuses, Paul and Kucinich will give their perspectives on the results, the politics and the process as the field heads to New Hampshire. Also on the program, Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, examines the campaigns and coverage in Iowa and looks at the power of the press to systematically advantage some candidates and disadvantage others.
