question about amy goodman, no snark-- |
|
have been out of touch for several months, no tv or internet. a friend told me the other day that she saw something online about amy goodman having sold out about the situation in libya, that she is, in fact, acting as a mouthpiece for the admin. doesn't sound like her, would like to know what i have been missing.
thanks in advance if anyone can help here.

1. As far as I've ever seen, Amy's mouth only works for her. Period. |
|
Otherwise I would not bother wasting my time watching her.

2. That's an overstatement. |

This is what it looked like to me.
She had Juan Cole on about a story that the CIA tried to discredit him during the Bush years. In the same segment, she asked him about Libya. He gave his analysis, which to my thinking was a total suck up to NATO. And Amy didn't challenge it at all, which is weird for her.
All I can think is that she was focused on the CIA story so Cole's claims about Libya didn't get the scrutiny they should have.
