ATLANTA–CNN officials announced that they will be carrying the popular news show This Week At War through the 2014 season. “We’re confident that we’ll have at least eight full seasons worth of material for this property,” said CNN President Jonathan Klein during the dedication of the new eleven-story TWAW news headquarters in Kuwait City. “And believe me, we’re going to be going in some surprising new directions. A premise like this can go on for a generation.” In addition to TWAW‘s extended renewal, CNN is retooling existing news shows to give them a more martial focus, most notably The Situation and War Room, and Lou Dobbs Tonight in the Middle of a Pitched Street Battle Between Sunni and Shiite Extremists.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.
