==========================
reporter caldwell was inside the black panthers
when law enforcement sought him to be a mole, he declined. they asked again mentioning a possible assasination attempt.
subpoened for information; 9th circuit supported caldwells appeal.
government appealed to supreme court (case bramsberg [spelling?]) which ruled against caldwell.
caldwell's attorney didn't accept defeat and battled on through other cases.

Tonights soliloquy begins by noticing that they mention the news parody Daily Show.
John Stewart is good at what he does, a better version of the SNL news. Saw him do standup summer 2006 nice blend of political and social comedy
mentioning news setup shows (abc- what would you do?) , reality based programing -- dateline, to catch a predator anyone
ted koppel mentions that 60 minutes is the first news program that turned a profit.
*Which resulted in many news magazines because tv neworks saw a new revenue stream.
