Wednesday, June 18, 2008 Pioneering Video Distribution Company "ThePlatform" Nails PBS and Continues to Grow ThePlatform, the Seattle-based video distribution platform for large online video publishers, has been at it for eight years, long before most of us were talking about this business. Just last month the company announced an agreement with PBS and its member stations to power online video distribution. The company was acquired by Comcast two years ago, but operates independently we are told. In Los Angeles last week, I caught up with Ian Blaine, CEO and Founder where he was at the AlwaysOn OnHollywood conference. He shares an overview with Beet.TV here. -- Andy Plesser http://www.beet.tv/2008/06/pioneering-vide.html

BREAKING SCANDAL: Sarah Palin VP-debate HOST is EXPOSED as Barack's BITCH !
CLICK to watch 75 SECONDS ! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhueOOw9VZo Uproar grows over Gwen Ifill, debate moderator and book author : One day away from the first, and only debate between the two vice presidential nominees in St Louis, controversy is swirling after news broke that the moderator ,PBSs Gwen Ifill, has a new book coming out- on inauguration day- that at first look, seems favorable to the Democratic presidential nominee. On Amazon.com the publisher offers this description of the book, titled The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. In THE BREAKTHROUGH, veteran journalist Gwen Ifill surveys the American political landscape, shedding new light on the impact of Barack Obamas stunning presidential campaign and introducing the emerging young African American politicians forging a bold new path to political power. Clearly her books arent going to do as well unless Obama wins, so it looks like she has some investment, literally, in one candidate or the other. And shes supposed to be sitting there as a neutral arbiter during the debate, NPRs Juan Williams, a FOX News contributor said in an article at FoxNews.com. I think the world of Gwen Ifill but I know theres a perception problem. Ifill, is the managing editor of PBS Washington Week, and senior correspondent of The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. Ifill has moderated previous debates before, including the VP debate in 2004, between Dick Cheney, and John Edwards. http://embeds.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/10/01/vp-moderator-creates-controversy-with-book-on-age-of-obama/ --------------------------------------- As if enough delicious edginess already didn't surround Thursday's Sarah Palin/Joe Biden debate, conservative consternation is rising over concerns that moderator Gwen Ifill brings an inherent self-interest favoring the Democratic ticket to the table. News reports about a broken ankle suffered by the PBS newswoman served to spotlight a political book she writing that's due to publish on inauguration day. Its title: "The Breakthrough: Politics a

Watch the full segment from the History Detectives Special celebrating African American contributions to music. The president of the Mayme A. Clayton Library & Museum in Culver City, California, recently discovered an unusual book in his late mother's extraordinary collection of African-American artifacts. The small, cloth-bound book, titled Slave Songs of the United States, has a publication date of 1867 and contains a collection of 136 plantation songs. Could this be the first book of African-American spirituals ever published? HISTORY DETECTIVES host Wes Cowan visits a music historian in Los Angeles to explore the coded messages and the melodies that laid the foundation of modern blues, gospel and protest songs of future generations. He also meets with Washington, DC's Howard University Choir for a special concert of selections from Slave Songs sung in the traditional style of mid-1800s spirituals. Exploring historical objects and the stories behind them, HISTORY DETECTIVES crisscrosses the country, delving into legends, folklore and personal histories to discover potentially extraordinary objects in everyday American homes, cities and small towns. Watch for the new season of History Detectives premiering June 2009. For more information, visit http://www.pbs.org/historydetectives.
