Description

Yamin Aguilar, of the President's Peace Commission, hosts this panel discussion featuring Robert Rivard, the Assistant Managing Editor of the San Antonio Express-News; Ron Aaron, talk show host at WOAI radio; and T.J. Connally, the Vice President of Public Affairs for Paragon Cable. Mr. Rivard begins with a demonstration indicating the fundamental contradiction between the First Amendment and the ability to say any thing about any one any where at any time. Mr. Aaron explains the difference between his talk show program's intent and the news programs' intent and obligations. Mr. Connally speaks about the effects of deregulation and comments on the high ratings of the O.J. Simpson white Bronco car chase and the ability to view the bombing of Baghdad a few years earlier. A question and answer period concludes the panel discussion.
