it would be nice to have some information on the content of the show, in terms of its 'tone', editorial policy, political leanings, presentation style, etc, and why (or not) its considered worth distributing around the world.

doesnt the lower case spelling conflict with E(?)nglish language rules?

[edit] Meaning of title

What does "the fifth estate" refer to? I know of the traditional three estates: the nobility, the clergy and the commoners, does this have anything to do with that? Arcticwoman 16:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if you found out the answer to your question by now, but the Fifth Estate refers to the media, more typically known as the Fourth Estate. Either name can (5th or 4th) can refer to the media, which is why the network chose this name. If you want to find out more, go to this link, Fourth Estate. Hope that helps.
