Your Thoughts: Nuclear Proliferation in the Middle East
Interviews, BNN Under Department of Tahta Maintenance, 20 October 2006
BNN's Your Thoughts is brought to you by the BNN Under Department of Tahta Maintenance, the department that exists to recycle graphics in a low maintenance kind of way, in order that we have to struggle less on our budget to come up with original content. Partially original content is what cable news is all about, so we're definitely making big strides on the road to media professionalism here in our corner of the truth-telling universe, or as Stephen Colbert might have put it — if he'd thought of it first — the "Truthiverse".

Photo of the Day: Only in Ramallah
Najeeb Al-Anbarri, BNN Photo Editor, 19 October 2006
Photo of the Day is a BNN feature which offers a photograph on a day, and calls it "Photo of the Day". This is not to imply that this is a regular feature, nor that this photo is truly the mother of all photos for the day in question. In this particular example, there is more than one photo, so a correct titling of the feature should really be "Photos of the Day". However, this would become extremely confusing for branding reasons, kind of like the subject of these photos. Usual disclaimers apply. [MORE]
