OUTSIDE THE BOX - Peter Coyote

Joining the Outside the Box team is oil policy analyst and author Antonia Juhasz, whose book “The Bush Agenda: Invading the World, One Economy at a Time,” addresses America’s unquestioned thirst for oil and explains how the US government’s energy policies, taxes and incentives have been affected by special-interest groups. This program goes backstage with Coyote, Juhasz and the Outside the Box production team, as they discuss a wide range of energy-related issues and examine mainstream television news sources -- to see what questions are not being asked, and how, in general, the energy issue is being framed by the U.S. media.

Outside the Box with Peter Coyote offers a refreshingly unconventional approach to the investigation and analysis of America's most critical issues. It takes viewers outside the familiar parameters and conventions, and away from the usual pundits and editorial framework of mainstream television news, as it explores a range of topics close to the American heartbeat -- the death penalty, the environment, intelligence gathering and, for its first two programs, energy.
