Pamela de Maigret, journalist, film-maker and Republican activist:
"I think you have to ask the question, do we have free elections in this country? I don't think we do.... This is one more of those stories that Independent World Television needs to stick with."
http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/pamela_de_maigret Lewis Lapham, Harper's Editor:
"Television media isn't set up to appreciate dissent. It's a consumer product like soap, packaged to sell the most units to the most people."
http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/lewis_lapham Laura Flanders, Air America Radio:
"The big issues of our time -- like global warming or peak oil -- are critical stories to the majority of people on the planet. And yet somehow they're not 'media friendly' because they don't have a hook this week, or a drama in Washington taking place around them."
http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/laura_flanders Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now! co-host:
"I think the creation of independent TV and broadcasting right now is at the heart of preserving democracy throughout the industrialized world."
http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/juan_gonzalezRobert McChesney, Free Press founder:
"Independent World Television can be one of the cornerstones of a democratic media system."
http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/robert_w_mcchesney Linda Foley, Newspaper Guild President:
"There are pressures in the newsrooms to cut back, to cut corners on journalism, both in terms of personnel and in how stories are pursued."
http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/linda_foley Nicco Mele, EchoDitto CEO and Dean campaign webmaster:
"Independent World Television is an exciting way to break out of the way the media conglomerates, intentionally or unintentionally, editorially control content...."
http://www.iwtnews.com/videoplayer/linda_foley Joanne St. Lewis, University of Ottawa:
"The television media has to stop simply choosing the same experts -- it's about moving to a broader body politic."
