Democracy Now... The best news source ever

[RethugAssKicker]

I've been watching Amy Goodmans Democracy Now program and am extremely impressed and happy that we have a news program that actually reports truths and indepth coverage of events.

I have been watching it over the net.. don't know if it comes on the TV.

If you've never watched... please do.. you're missing a great broadcast!

1. If you have basic cable you should have it on tv

In Arizona at least...

I suspect that channel turned my libertarian teacher (who honestly was pretty far left on social issues to begin with I bet) into a hardcore progressive.

9. Dish Network has it on both FSTV and LINK TV channels too

at many times during the day. Another good reason for the progressive to buy Dish Network, since they have FSTV (Free Speech TV) whereas DirecTV doesn't.

LINK is on both DirecTV and Dish Network though.

I don't get it on my cable service but I stream it everyday. The archives are quite informative as well and when I have extra time, I go to the archived shows as a reminder so I don't forget. Excellent source for indepth information.

Democracy Now! – the Aftermath of 11/2

-snip-

We should also take note of Democracy Now!’s revealing programming on 11/3, 11/4, 11/5 and 11/8/04. (DN is an immensely popular hour-long daily news program which airs on Pacifica Radio and which is reportedly now owned by its leading figure, Amy Goodman.) At no point during this period did DN have someone mention that a single company had counted sixty million votes. While DN provided some useful information during this period it provided no single fact (like Christopher Bollyn’s claim) that would galvanize the dejected Left into action.

-snip-

11/3 Broadcast
In reviewing the news shows aired by Democracy Now on 11/3, 11/4, 11/5 and 11/8/04 it is clear that DN was very narrowly framing its discussions about the Presidential election. For example, on the (two-hour) 11/3 program host Amy Goodman mentions an email she received asking why Kerry quit with “a quarter of a million provisional ballots” still uncounted. As if speaking for the Kerry campaign she asks rhetorically whether a candidate is entitled to quit.

All of the other people who appear on DN’s 11/3 program authenticate the election results. DN producer Jeremy Scahill impatiently compares Kerry’s quick concession with the weeks-long, post-election suspense in 2000. (Phyliss Bennis later draws the same comparison.) In addition, guests Mahdi Bray and Pacifica National Board member Leslie Cagan all affirm that Kerry lost an election that he was seriously contesting. Michael Ratner expresses only a marginal amount of concern over the uncounted votes in Ohio.

--snip--

Early on the next day (11/4) Amy Goodman asserts that Bush won the popular vote.

21. thanks

if this is true, I agree that they were remiss in reporting on this story, which is a shame.
