Subject: BS: TruthOut Nightly Series
Truthout is one of those watchdog types that spend a lot of time delving, dissecting and disbursing information to the nation. This Overview is a new thing, I believe.

"Welcome to the 'Truthout Overview' nightly audio.

"We hope you will join us every night for this webcast as we examine, in depth and right here, the news of the day.

"We do truthout for three reasons: Far too often, the mainstream television news media act as little more than commercial advertisers for their parent companies. This is not journalism, and we desperately need journalism in this day and age. We also do truthout because the mainstream print media, while retaining great credibility, requires an enormous amount of time to sift through properly. Our editors, who read between 10 and 30 newspapers a day, do that for you.

"Finally, the English philosopher John Locke said, "It is one thing to show a man that he is in error, and another to put him in possession of truth." Tonight, tomorrow, and for as long as we are able, truthout will be in the business of putting you in possession of the truth.

"The truthout overview will be available Monday through Friday each evening. We look forward to you joining us in this endeavor."

Questions and comments on the overview can be directed to William Rivers Pitt.
