Brian Williams On The Daily Show

Here’s an interview with NBC News Anchor Brian Williams – The guy in line to replace Tom Brokaw on the NBC Nightly News after the 2004 Presidential Election Coverage.
Brian and Jon have a pretty interesting discussion about journalists and whether or not they “should” let people know about their own biases.
Brian says that he is a registered Independent and claims that he doesn’t even tell his kids or his wife how he votes so that they all have plausible deniability when they say they don’t know how he votes. He claims the Washington Post tells their reporters not to vote. I’m not sure how he knows this or how this could be verified, but I certainly wouldn’t work for a paper who told me not to vote, and I kind of doubt many of the journalists I read in the Washington Post would either. So I’m not really sure what he actually meant by all of that.
Anyway it’s an interesting interview.

Creative Commons Interview With Jerry Goldman

Here’s a great interview with Jerry Goldman, Professor of Political Science at Northwestern on the Creative Commons site.

Jerry Goldman is determined to archive every recorded oral argument and bench statement in the Supreme Court since 1955, when the Court began to tape-record its public proceedings. Goldman, a professor of political science at Northwestern, founded the OYEZ Project in 1989 “to create and share a complete and authoritative archive of Supreme Court audio.” This month the OYEZ mission takes a new step forward with the release of hundreds of hours of MP3 versions of their archived audio under a Creative Commons license.

Madeleine Albright On The Daily Show

Here is last night’s interview with former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
Fascinating stuff. They talk about North Korea and what’s really going on over there (not what we’re told here — that the country’s leader is just a looney tune) — and how the United States is pretty much hated and feared by the rest of the world at this point. (How sad.)
Hi-res versions will go up later today.
