New world meets old... Non traditional reporters have been bringing us most of the news from Iran this week, but here in the US, a very traditional debate has broken out. New media report, but with an old media spin. What did this "new media" miss or misrepresent this week? And are we just repeating ourselves? This week on GRIT TV's media roundtable: we'll talk about the video of Neda Agha-Soltan, -- quite possibly the most broadcast death in history, the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, and South Carolina's governor, Mark Sanford abandons his duties to pursue an affair. Haven't the pundits gotten it yet that when it comes to the sanctity of marriage, same sex couples may actually be the strongest believers?
Joining us are Allison Kilkenny, Contributor to the Huffington Post and Host of Citizen Radio, Danny Schechter, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of "Media Channel," Host of a new radio show, "The News Dissector" and author of Plunder: Investigating Our Economic Calamity and the Subprime Scandal, and Andrew Golis, Deputy Publisher of "Talking Points Memo."
The bosses might be jumping to declare the fight over the Employee Free Choice Act finished, but proponents of EFCA, and rebuilding the middle class by way of growing worker power, aren't exactly waving white flags. We have a clip put together by Artists for Workers Choice.
Then later, as the United States continues to escalate its military presence in Afghanistan, our understanding of the place hasn't grown one bit. And it's a recipe for disaster. What do we need to know about Afghanistan in order to make policies for the future? With their deep knowledge of the region and its people, Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould join us to discuss this important issue, while showing clips from their 1981 PBS documentary, "Afghanistan Between Three Worlds." They are also out with a new book, Invisible History: Afghanistan's Untold Story.
It's easy to find -let's just say gaps- in our understanding about certain issues. Harder, to fill those gaps... But every week on GRITtv, we highlight a new independent documentary that tries to do some filling. This week's Got Doc is "Venezuela: Revolution from the Inside Out." The DVD has just come out and the filmmakers, including director Clifton Ross, did something a little unique. They asked regular Venezuelans for their messages to the people of the United States, so we wanted to play a clip of those messages. It's sort of like a goulash of Twitter and documentary we think you'll enjoy.

Spanish banks are borrowing record amounts from the European Central Bank as the country’s financial institutions struggle to gain funding from the international capital markets.
Spanish banks borrowed €85.6 billion ($105.7 billion) from the ECB last month. This was double the amount lent to them before the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 and 16.5 percent of net eurozone loans offered by the central bank.
