Oh no.

reddit has been slipping hard in quality, for me at least. Its front page will have you convinced that Iran is the best thing since sliced bread and everyone in power is out to kill you.

I honestly can't remember where I read/heard it, but to paraphrase: paranoia is only knowing a little bit of what's actually going on

And, of course, it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

You should look at some of the other reddits, where less crazy people hang out. :)

Hm, PBS? How un-web-2.0.

A YouTube channel or jason.tv broadcast would seem more appropriate. But then again, why not just go to reddit, then?

The show will be broadcast online as well as on TV. The reason to watch the show is that you get the opinions of some well known journalists discussing the issues back and forth -- at least, that is the theory.

And I believe you mean justin.tv.

There is a high ration of signal/noise on Reddit and PBS alike. This may very well succeed but, it might just be preaching to the choir.

I was about to comment that I was happy that the information on Reddiit was going to reach a larger audience but, I wish PBS would reach a larger audience.

I think this is freaking great.

I like it purely for the novelty factor.
