This episode focuses on ethics in journalism. When is it OK--or not OK--for reporters to cross the line, in the name of pursuing a story? When do the rules on free speech come into play? The feature segment takes an in-depth look at the case of Muntander Al-Zaidi, the Iraqi journalist arrested in December 2008 for throwing his shoes at President George W. Bush during a press conference in Iraq; another installment of 'The Media Encyclopaedia'; an animated 'News Junkie'; and an interview with Randy Cohen, Sunday Times Magazine 'The Ethicist' columnist.

A fresh, unapologetic and frequently very funny perspective on a variety of issues affecting accurate, balanced reporting from leading news outlets. Tonight:
