INN World Report

International News Net World Report, also known as INN World Report, is a viewer-supported cable news program broadcast by Free Speech TV and several dozen public access networks nationwide. It holds one of two spots within the cadre of cable news programs that eschew corporate funding, sharing the distinction with "Democracy Now". Since its 2005 inception, INN has devoted itself to the mantra, “News the other networks won’t tell you”, by reporting on significant global issues that receive little or no attention from mainstream American news networks. It also produces provocative interview segments with noteworthy politicians, scholars, filmmakers and authors.

Despite its self-identification as a populist news outfit, INN suffers from a radical stigma, arguably resulting from its pursuit of politically sensitive topics that are often unpopular in the mainstream media. INN World Report remains far more neutral in its reporting than most of its commercial counterparts, without much bias to the left or right. Its journalistic marginalization has been compounded by a vicious cycle of financial troubles and production quality concerns but its journalist integrity is rarely questioned.

Most recently, INN has received some criticism for giving voice to scholars and demolition experts who cite inconsistencies between the collapse of the World Trade Center towers and the official narrative of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a decision INN defends as an exercise of its First Amendment rights and a commitment to intrepid journalism. INN has neither condemned nor endorsed the views of any of their controversial guests but are maligned for giving airtime to views contrary to the official version of the events of 9/11.

Past INN guests have included:

• Scott Ritter, chief United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998
