In the third segment Professor Scott Althaus, Director, Cline Center for Democracy at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign joins Eugene Puryear to talk about the media's coverage of war, the lack of media access to US military actions post-Vietnam, the inherently biased process of news-making through select authorities, and the trade-off between technology to disseminate news and taking time to fact check information.
