very impressed so far. No spin, just straight reporting and great documentaries. Its about time! I watched the network while traveling in South Africa a few years ago and enjoyed the "no spin" zone. I hope it is successful.

1. Will This Be LIke Everything Else?.....

Lure people into watching them - cause at the beginning they are trying to get the most viewership as possible. Over time will they create a slant on their reporting of stories - will they have some sort of bias? Will it come about insidiously?

When I say everything else - here's an example: Cable TV was first pushed as non-commercial TV. No commercials. Over time they insidiously inserted commercials - and now there is little difference between broadcast TV and cable TV.

My cable company doesn't carry it. Hope I can special-order it soon.
