Just saw Control Room, an excellent documentary examining the nature of subjectivity in news reporting. From the co-director of startup.com, it is an investigation of staff at al-Jazeera, the now well known Arabic satellite TV channel.

It is telling how this gulf war has repeated the rise in position of a TV network in the same fashion to CNN during the 1990 gulf war.
