    To the Point

    Is Today's Internet Killing Our Culture?

    Are Wikipedia, Google and an infinite number of web blogs, liberating our culture or killing it by abolishing traditional standards and blurring the difference between what's really true and what's false.

Note: This archived edition of TtP, will not air live on KCRW as it will be pre-empted by special holiday programming.
