jesus, today's episode "can you afford to retire?" should be mandatory viewing to EVERYONE.


if any anti-tv snob tells you there is nothing on TV but crap shove a tape of Frontline onto his hands and tell him to watch it. that'll shut 'em up.

It's mindblowing how this week's episode went through and explained the domestic surveillance situation in the country. You can say goodbye to your privacy now.

It's so frustrating to watch them online, since it's really choppy, and tends to cut out before the end of each clip. At least with my work connection, that is :'(

yeah, i wish they would offer torrents of each episode. watching the shows split up into smaller parts really sucks.

I'm glad I got to see that episode. This show definitely gives an in-depth analysis on the events we only follow through the news headlines. It's such a trainwreck how the administration would've actually gained control of Iraq if Bush was more decisive about picking the alternative to Rumsfeld's Iraq strategy.

gotta love investigations of Cheney, tonights was "Cheney's Law". He's such an inherently secretive guy that I can't help wanting to know more. I have to say the pictures and dramatic "serious evil" music were a bit over the top, its as if the frontline staff went looking for the photos where he looked the most dickish and creepy. Theres one great one where half his face is hidden in shadow by the american flag, and he is of course smirking. What is it about Cheney that he can't avoid smirking for the camera, hes such a control freak except for that damn smirk.
