"e;Amy Goodman has taken investigative journalism to new heights of exciting, informative, and probing analysis."e;Noam Chomsky"e;You can learn more of the truth about Washington and the world fromone week of Amy Goodman's Democracy Now! than from a month of Sundaymorning talk shows. Make that a year of Sunday talk shows. That'sbecause Amy, as you will discover on every page of this book, knowsthe critical question for journalists is how close they are to thetruth, not how close they are to power."e;From the Preface by Bill MoyersAmy Goodman, award-winning host of the daily internationally broadcast radio and television program Democracy Now!, breaks through the corporate media's lies, sound bites, and silence in this wide-ranging new collection of articles. In place of the usual suspectsthe "e;experts"e; who, in Goodman's words, "e;know so little about so much, explain the world to us, and get it so wrong"e;this accessible, lively collection allows the voices the corporate media exclude and ignore to be heard loud and clear. From community organizers in New Orleans, to the courageous American soldiers who've said "e;No"e; to Washington's wars, to the victims of torture and police violence, we are given the extraordinary opportunity to hear ordinary people standing up and speaking out.
