“While I have the utmost respect for Kwame Holman and Ray Suarez as journalists, their news reports and interviews, respectively, are just stellar, and all the other personnel are first rate as well, there is one tragic flaw in this gem for me.
They are too beholden to corporate interests, for one, as a political "order" which defines the general parameter of their examinations; and, they seem to have a particular penchant for giving voice to the neocon movement in this land.
Since the Intefada of 2000, for example, this program has repeatedly trotted out every American Likudnik from the American Enterprise Institute and elsewhere (Martin Indyk, etc...) to analyze the Middle East, promoting and perpetuating the neocon mythology.
Have you EVER seen a Palestinian given a chance to put forward the arguments of the Palestinian people in this conflict? The late Edward Said, before his death? No. Fuad Ajami is a token Arab lapdog to the neocons; he is invited occasionally.

“From an overseas traveler whose news lifeline is NewsHour:
Are there any plans in 2009 to reformat the NewsHour as a complete video podcast? A majority of these reviews are positive (and deservedly so) but many also call for this same suggestion. Would the NewsHour's web content producer care...”Read full review »
