TV Junkie: 'Idol' Returns to Hollywood; New 'House', 'Veronica Mars', and More...

A Word or 51:
PBS and NPR have been hyping up the new set of Frontline programs that expose media manipulation. Knee-jerk conservative pundits will have a chance to spew their own conspiracy theories since this week we have the Anti-Surge Resolution in Congress, and the Libby trial - topics both relevant to the program.
