MUMBAI: US news broadcaster CNN is airing Broken Government, a multi-platform initiative to report in-depth on how the current environment in Washington as well as state capitals and small towns is disappointing and enraging many Americans and what solutions are being proposed to fix it.

As with the Stimulus Report, CNN will air several segments per hour from American Morning through Anderson Cooper 360, culminating in an hour-long special hosted by Jack Cafferty on 26 February called Broken Government: A Cafferty File Special Report.

Throughout the week CNN correspondents and contributors will file reports from around the country on issues including the debate over government spending, congressional gridlock, outrageous medical expenses, Wall Street bonuses, the disappearing middle class, and the rise of Independents as partisan extremism grows. CNN will bring its contributors and experts together--including Time magazine correspondents--to offer diverse perspectives and analysis on these issues.
