Your Week is a half-hour TV newsmagazine and website now being developed for national consumption by Washington’s WETA in partnership with the conservative National Review, the more liberal New Republic and Reddit.com, a social news site that, like Digg, allows users to share links and vote the most popular ones to higher prominence on its home page.
The producers finished a pilot last week, will focus-group and tweak it over the next few weeks and will launch the project nationally in October if PBS picks it up, says Dalton Delan, e.p. for WETA. The video pilot will go online later this summer.

We are looking at a pilot that was never picked up. In fact, their web site has a great sunset photo:

IMHO, it was just another attempt to generate a false conflict:
- Evolution vs Creationism
- Choice vs baby-killers
- State Religion vs Prayer in School
- Prius vs Hummer
The program went down the tubes where it belonged.
There was an effort by the Bush administration to take over PBS and put more right-wing oriented programming. False conflicts are part of that pattern and this 'pilot' is a prime example of their attempt to replace facts and data with FUD and demonstrably false reporting.
