>Unfiltered will offer Brock N. Meeks' insightful and frequently
>iconoclastic view on the love- hate relationship between politics and
>technology. Supported by Declan McCullagh, the Washington bureau chief
>for Wired News, Mr. Meeks will cover the latest issues, controversies and
>personalities involving techno-politics.

> Subjects to be examined include Internet censorship, the debate on

>the battle between the US Justice Department and Microsoft. The program's
>premiere guest is Rep. Rick White (R-WA), a leading Congressional figure

>broadcast on the Internet today," says Thomas Edwards, founder and
>president of The Sync. "While politicians try to reshape the digital
>world to fit their standards and techies try to maintain their tradition
>of independence in the face of governmental encroachment, Meeks Unfiltered
>will provide an insider's view to this remarkable and volatile new
>techno-political arena."
