Frontline - News War
2007 · TV series · 1 season
Created by Raney Aronson-Rath
In a four-part special series, News War, FRONTLINE examines the political, cultural, legal, and economic forces challenging the news media today and how the press has reacted in turn. Through interviews with key figures in print, broadcast and electronic media over the past four decades -- and with unequaled, behind-the-scenes access to some of today's most important news organizations, FRONTLINE traces the recent history of American journalism, from the Nixon administration's attacks on the media to the post-Watergate popularity of the press, to the new challenges presented by the war on terror and other global forces now changing -- and challenging -- the role of the press in our society.

There was also the ATT Room 641A which was exposed in 2006 -- Beam splitters / taps on internet fiber backbones, monitored by the NSA. There wasn't really any doubt what was going on. By 2013, there was no question about ubiquitous internet surveillance.
Hell, Frontline aired a documentary about it in early 2007: http://www.pbs.org/video/2365249828/
