On the next Your Call, it's our Friday Media Roundtable. This week, we'll discuss coverage of the federal budget and President Obama's plan to reduce the deficit. What did you learn from the media's extensive coverage? We'll also discuss coverage of protests in Afghanistan. We'll be joined by Tax Notes' David Cay Johnston, McClatchy's David Lightman and independent journalist Anna Badkhen, who is just back from Afghanistan. Where did you see the best reporting this week? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
