"The Outsourcing Report"

Now here's a great idea for a TV show from a noncommercial outlet: a half hour all about trends in outsourcing. It's from The Working Group, whose work I've raved about in the past, including its series about labor, "Livelyhood." And lo and behold, who's narrating "The Outsourcing Report" but "Livelyhood" host (and friend of the Barn) Will Durst.

It's definitely got a point of view, which you can take issue with if you like. But at least Link TV, the satellite channel, is willing to try it. PBS should be doing a show like this -- and Lou Dobbs should be the anchor -- but public TV is too chicken.
