PBS: What's Next for Gitmo, Detainees and U.S. Handling of Terror Suspects?

Speaking of the NDAA, on 12/31/11, only CBS covered Obama signing the bill...only in a 20-second summary! (6:55 mark of video) But CBS that evening had a full feature story about a British choir of military wives. While ABC, CBS, and NBC have been SILENT on the indefinite detention issue...PBS did cover the Congressional debate on NDAA in the "other news" section of briefs between the top story and other items on Dec. 14 and Dec. 15. On those days, ABC carried an interview with Michael Jackson's daughter, all 3 networks covered the auction of Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry, and NBC squeezed a 30-second story of a baby seal that crawled into a New Zealand home. Also unlike PBS, the commercial networks lacked the day-to-day coverage of Congress debating the payroll tax cut before Dec. 18.

On cable, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes had several stories covering NDAA.
