Truth in Advertising
Ruth Reichl, editor-in-chief of Gourmet magazine, helps us navigate the joys and perils of eating seafood. Then FactCheck.org’s Brooks Jackson examines the veracity of the claims made in the Bush and Kerry campaign advertisements. Next up, Editor David Wallis and journalist/contributor Ted Rall discuss Killed: Great Journalism Too Hot To Print--a compilation of articles written by well-known authors for big-name publications that were pulled due to their controversial nature. Finally, Bradley P. Dean has collected 50 of Henry David Thoreau’s unpublished letters on spirituality for his new book, Letters to a Spiritual Seeker.
