Your Call 042508 Media Roundtable

On the next Your Call it's our Friday media roundtable when we speak with journalists about the differences between what happened and what was reported. This week we'll speak with Dan Froomkin, writer of the column White House Beat on Washingtonpost.com, and Greg Mitchell of Editor and Publisher. This week saw a blockbuster investigative reporting piece in the New York Times exposing the financial and personal web that tied the Pentagon to purportedly independent military analysts. Was this just getting the message out as the Pentagon claimed, or a tax payer supported disinformation campaign? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Dan Froomkin in Virginia
Writer of the column White House Beat on Washingtonpost.com

Greg Mitchell in New York
Editor of Editor and Publisher and author of So Wrong for So Long: How the Press, the Pundits--and the President--Failed on Iraq
