C-Span Baghdad

November 28, 2003

In yet another attempt to circumvent what it sees as the media's endless doting on "bad news" from Iraq, the Bush administration is developing what it calls "C-Span Baghdad." The network will feature a constant stream of whatever the US government wants Americans to see: press conferences, briefings, and in all likelihood, very little coverage of downed helicopters. Bob speaks with New York Observer reporter Joe Hagan, who recently wrote about the project.
