When Edward Snowden exposed the U.S. National Security Agency’s secret mass surveillance programs, defenders of the NSA said the spying was necessary, and they produced an example: David Coleman Headley, an American recruited by Pakistani terrorists to help plan the 2008 Mumbai attack known as “India’s 9/11.” But was Headley’s capture an intelligence success? ProPublica reporter Sebastian Rotella investigated those claims, unearthing evidence of how intelligence agencies didn’t stop the 2008 attack in which 166 people were killed. “American Terrorist” is an updated and expanded version of 2011’s “A Perfect Terrorist.”
“American Terrorist” was a FRONTLINE production with Left/Right Docs in association with 2over10 Media in partnership with ProPublica. It was written, produced and directed by Thomas Jennings. The correspondent was Sebastian Rotella. The co-producers were Anna Belle Peevey and Sabrina Shankman. The reporters were Sebastian Rotella, Jeff Larson, Thomas Jennings, and Anna Belle Peevey. The senior producer was Frank Koughan. The deputy executive producer of FRONTLINE was Raney Aronson-Rath. The executive producer of FRONTLINE was David Fanning.

,1,The complex, contentious U.S.-China relationship is a high-profile issue President-elect Donald Trump will face in his second term. FRONTLINE’s timely investigation traces China’s emergence as one of the world’s wealthiest and most repressive countries, and the role of its longtime president, Xi Jinping.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate
Offering a comprehensive look at Xi’s vision for China and the broader implications — from his crackdown on Muslims in Xinjiang to his provocative ambitions for Taiwan — “China, the U.S. & the Rise of Xi Jinping” also probes the state of China’s economy and its trade war with the U.S., the hostile China-U.S. relationship, the ramifications and what may come next.
With China largely shutting out the international media, the two-hour documentary draws on interviews with former Chinese Communist Party members, exiled human rights and democracy activists, academics, authors and journalists to trace the events that shaped President Xi. It examines the trajectory of his life, from being sent to the countryside to perform hard labor during the Maoist revolution, to his embrace of the Chinese Communist Party and his rise through its leadership, to how he has tightened his grip throughout his presidency.
“China, the U.S. & the Rise of Xi Jinping” is a FRONTLINE production with RAIN Media, Inc. The producers are Martin Smith, Marcela Gaviria and Brian Funck. The correspondent is Martin Smith. The co-producers are Scott Anger and Elizabeth Hope Williams. The writers and directors are Marcela Gaviria and Martin Smith.

“American Voices 2024” begins in 2020, following ordinary Americans with different viewpoints as they dealt with COVID-19 in their communities that spring, responded to George Floyd’s murder that summer, and then participated in the election and its aftermath that fall. Then, the documentary revisits those same Americans from a mix of urban, rural and suburban areas as they reflect on the past four tumultuous years, navigate health and economic challenges, and share their perspectives on politics today.
Filmed everywhere from Texas to California; from Virginia to Minnesota; and from Iowa to Oregon, “American Voices 2024” is a journey across geography, race and politics that sheds light on where our country has been — and where it is headed.
“American Voices 2024” is a FRONTLINE production with Five O’Clock Films in association with DEC8 Productions and Mike Shum Productions. The producers are Qinling Li and Arthur Nazaryan. The writers are Qinling Li and Mike Shum. The director is Mike Shum. The senior producers are Callie T. Wiser and Frank Koughan.

,1,The 2009 FRONTLINE documentary “Black Money” examined bribery allegations against international companies and explored how prosecutors around the world cracked down on the practice. (Aired 2009)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate/
As pressure for profits increased on corporations during the global financial downturn of the late 2000s, the U.S. Department of Justice pursued an aggressive crackdown on an international business tactic: bribery. The 2009 documentary “Black Money” examined this shadowy side of international business. The film shed light on how some multinational companies routinely made secret payments — often referred to as “black money” — to win billions in business, and explored the crackdown being waged by prosecutors at the U.S. Department of Justice and allies abroad against companies including the British-based multinational defense company BAE Systems.

,1,The 2007 documentary “Spying on the Home Front” examined then-President George W. Bush’s domestic war on terrorism and its implications for Americans’ civil liberties. (Aired 2007)
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate/
The attacks on 9/11 altered America in many ways, from barricades and body frisks in airports to greater government scrutiny of people’s records and electronic surveillance of their communications. The watershed, officials told FRONTLINE in the 2007 documentary “Spying on the Home Front,” was the government’s shift to a strategy of pre-emption at home — not just prosecuting terrorists for breaking the law, but trying to find and stop them before they struck.
The documentary probed the ramifications of that strategy, explored how the National Security Agency’s domestic surveillance program worked at the time, and examined various viewpoints on whether the Bush administration violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and infringed on constitutional protections.

This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: https://www.pbs.org/donate
While making this 2016 documentary in Benghazi, reporter Feras Kilani gained rare access to Libyan forces fighting for control of the city against ISIS and other extremist groups. By that point, the battle had been going on for over 18 months, with more than 100,000 residents displaced by the fighting, and Libya was ISIS’ biggest base outside Syria and Iraq. In “Benghazi in Crisis,” Kilani followed Libyan fighters battling for a central point in the city, filmed the stories of displaced civilians and offered a rare and grim look inside a city in turmoil.

,1,Trump says SNL, Late Night TV hosts are FAILING
Trump's Truths from October 18, 2022 regarding the falling ratings of late night comedy shows
Subscribe for the latest updates!
Full text: Late Night Television is absolutely dying. The hosts are not funny, talented, or smart. Actually, it’s amazing that they keep their jobs. Ratings have gone south to a level never seen before. I could take the average person on the street, insert them in these loser's place, and the entertainment level would be better. Stephen Colbert is drawing “flies,” Jimmy Kimmel is down almost 50%, and Fallon has lost 60%. Basket case Seth Meyers has lost most of his audience, BORING. Trump haters are DEAD!
I once hosted Saturday Night Live, and the ratings were HUUUGE! Now, however, the ratings are lower than ever before, and the show will probably be put to “rest.” It is just not, at these levels, sustainable - A bad show that’s not funny or smart. L.M. is angry and exhausted, the show even more so. It was once good, never great, but now, like the Late Night Losers who have lost their audience but have no idea why, it is over for SNL - A great thing for America!

,1,For years, Hungary looked to America as an example of freedom, but now it might be time for the U.S. to take notes from Hungary, according to Shea Bradley-Farrell.
Bradley-Farrell, president of Counterpoint Institute, recently spent several months in Hungary doing research for her new book. While in the nation formerly controlled by the Soviet Union, Bradley-Farrell says she found herself often having a similar conversation with Hungarians.
“Hungarians told me over and over, ‘the rhetoric coming out of the United States reminds us of our Soviet era,’” Bradley-Farrell recalled. “And the more I dug into that, the more that I realized that the things that we’re dealing with here and the so-called progressive agenda, the woke agenda, the Biden administration, they’re directly out of the playbook of communism,” she says.
In her new book, “Last Warning to the West: Hungary’s Triumph Over Communism and the Woke Agenda,” Bradley-Farrell explains a roadmap for how America can correct course and learn from our friends in Hungary at this moment in history.
Bradley-Farrell joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the book and share the stories of conversation she had in Hungary.
