CSPAN not even a peep about Amy Goodman?

[Royal Oak Rog]

"Washington Journal" has not even mentioned the Amy Goodman arrest, am I correct on this? The main competitor for a so called non biased network with no ads much like "Democracy Now" has not one thing to say about a major journalism figure and their main competitor being falsely arrested? To anyone who's watching correct me if I'm wrong.

1. They are owned by the Cable Companies... CSpan was their

"give-back" to the public good in exchange for their exclusive useage cable access to American homes.

Nice trade you congressional numbnuts. . .

2. Her radio program isn't that widely known in the general population.

Sad, but true. Her arrest wouldn't mean anything to most people.

4. Please Mookie

Not popular to someone living in a sheltered network existence, but the show is plenty popular. If this site for instance were to be banned from the web for even a few days, say for the week of the Republican convention, should the censorship be mentioned on a show like "Washington Journal"? Or should they just stay mum and say it wasn't popular, and freedom of speech only counts for the network shows?

[Captain Hilts]

5. As someone who travels a lot, "Democracy Now" is often difficult, or impossible...

to find on the radio dial. I really like the show and try to find it.

I wish they had mentioned the arrest, but it wouldn't have meant much to a viewing audience that is, on average, the oldest - over 60 - out there.

7. That's what I'm saying

It's online 24/7. it's wildly popular here and abroad.

[Captain Hilts]

8. Um, not everyone has the time, etc. to listen to programs online. I often don't have access.

It's popular with its audience, but is not widely known. A weak radio station at the end of the dial is not a good launching pad for high visibility.

12. It's World Widely known

it's online, and I'm done arguing with you, but people listen to it worldwide; listen to the show on a set of "tubes" called the "Internets", search for it on "the Google" you'll find it. Regardless of that, when a journalist is beat in the street for no good reason it's news.

[Captain Hilts]

14. I agree it's news and I wish it had been mentioned.

But DON'T assume average folks - who haven't a clue what's on at the end of the FM dial - and C-SPAN viewers who have the OLDEST average age of any television program viewers, know who she is.

Your world isn't everyone's. I wish it were, but it isn't.

11. She has been a guest on their program n/t

[Captain Hilts]

15. Yes, I saw her on there.

I wish they had mentioned it. But she's well-known in our circles, but not that widely in the US.

3. Why don't yopu call in and bring it up live on the air?

[Royal Oak Rog]

6. What are you kidding me?

It's 8:00am and I turn off that trash at 8 and listen to Democracy Now: DemocracyNow.org

[MinM]

9. @ 9415 FSTV you can watch Democracy Now...

right now, on the Dish Network. Luckily Amy looks no worse for the wear.

[malaise]

10. Scully commented on it last night after a caller spoke

about it. Remember M$M is only interested in journalists arrested in countries not favorable to 'special interests'. Amy has been a guest on their program - it is disgraceful that no serious comment has been made anywhere. This should lead the headlines on all news programs on all stations.

change word

[Royal Oak Rog]

13. yea that's even worse

where's the follow up?
