UNWELCOME: THE MUSLIMS NEXT DOOR – Airs Saturday 8:00PM – 9:00PM, 11:00PM and Sunday 2:00AM – 3:00AM
Murfreesboro, Tennessee (pop. 100,000) is home to 190 churches… and one mosque. Five times a day members of the Muslim community gather in Islamic Center of Murfreesboro to pray… men in one room, women and children in another. Muslims have lived in Murfreesboro for decades, yet when plans to build a new mosque were approved this summer, questions were raised and the resulting backlash and acts of vandalism revealed a community divided by deep-rooted suspicions about Muslims, and Islam. Ten years after 9/11, CNN anchor and special correspondent Soledad O’Brien reports the story of Muslims and non-Muslims, from Murfreesboro to Manhattan, struggling to find common ground in America.

CNN anchor and special correspondent Soledad O’Brien describes how escaped convict and armed robber James Earl Ray spent a year on the run – pausing for plastic surgery and robbery before his path collided with civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in Memphis, Tennessee in 1968. Through interviews with first-person eyewitnesses and investigators, O’Brien retraces the steps of King, Ray and investigators and explores alternative scenarios of what happened on April 4, 1968.

CNN needs to hire George Stroumboulopoulos
like now. Take a look at his Pakistan doc and
tell us that this could easily fit in with all of
the other CNN docs.

Down goes CNN. If TVN has what it calls
the CNN plan , CNN will be 5th i prime
time. It is clear the news saved CNN yet
they think the need more opinion in
prime time. Can you say loser. There
is too much of this already in cable news.
So much for CNN getting it. They don't.

Now that it appears Katie Couric is leaving
CBS, CNN should hire her to host the 1st
all female journalists show on cable news
in prime news. Make Couric the host but
rotate all of the female journalists that are
on CNN, HLN, CNN I & CNN Espanol.CNN
needs women anchoring in prime time
instead of Elliot Spitzer & Piers Morgan.
Women talk about the news and really
interesting topics. I willing to be that
OReilly and The Last Word don't bring
in female viewers.
