As the Health Care Summit was getting under way in Washington DC, our esteemed panel looks at what role our media has played in covering the never-ending health care debates since Obama assumed power. Then, with more staff cutbacks in major press rooms and talk of The National Enquirer receiving the Pulitzer Prize, what does the future of journalism look like? Finally, our three media dissectors tackle the increasingly disastrous war in Afghanistan - is the media's coverage (or lack thereof) leading to more death and destruction?

Joining us around the table today we have Richard Kim, senior editor at The Nation Magazine, Megan Carpentier, former news and politics editor for Air America Media and currently guest contributor to the Washington Independent, and Danny Schechter, author of Crime of the Decade, producer of the new documentary Plunder and Editor-in-Chief of the NewsDissector.com.
