The View From Over There
Has America's image been tarnished by the last eight years? Democrats seem to think so, and increasingly so do some Republicans. Collective Journalism contributors around the world work to gauge America's image abroad, as US policymakers struggle to maintain positive feeling in spite of ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"The View From Over There" takes in an depth look at American foreign policy and how it affects America's image abroad. In this show, we feature a look at how other countries view the US, especially in the wake of Sept 11, the War on Terror, and the War in Iraq. We also hear from citizens of other countries about who they prefer in this year's US election. And finally, we show a unique perspective on the issue of how to handle Iran - an Iranian perspective.
Collective Journalism, Current's citizen journalism program, works by combining perspectives from contributors like you around the world. All month until Election Day, CJ will be airing special investigations into the most important issues of this election. Has America's image been tarnished by the last eight years? Democrats seem to think so, and increasingly so do some Republicans. ... more -

Obama campaign lauches McCain/Keating 5 website and documentary
It's been the ace up their sleeve all along. McCain's amplified negative strategy marked by Sarah Palin's "Weather Underground" comments looks like the signal the Obama campaign has been waiting for to take the gloves off and go to town on John McCain's connection to the "Keating 5" S&L scandal in the '80's. The timing with regard to the recent economic crisis is especially poignant and timely, as the Keating scandal was all about lack of regulatory oversight and corporate abuse of taxpayer dollars protected by political favoritism and cronyism.
The full documentary is set to debut online at noon eastern time on 10/6 It's been the ace up their sleeve all along. McCain's amplified negative strategy marked by Sarah Palin's "Weath... more -
