- Amy Goodman
In Goodman’s
latest book, an anthology of reports from “Democracy
Now!” she sticks to the facts whether reporting on climate change, Wall
Street bailouts, public healthcare vs private insurance companies or anything else
in between. Goodman gives us information
that at times we may wish we didn’t know, but need to know if we are to make
informed decisions about the issues of our day. Goodman’s reporting does not
rely on propaganda, ties to special interest groups or rhetoric. She is a truth
teller. “It is,” she has said, “the responsibility of journalists to go where
the silence is, to seek out news and people who are ignored, to accurately and
clearly report on the issues…issues that the corporate, for profit media often
distort, if they cover them at all.
A New York Times bestselling author, journalist
and reporter, Goodman has won dozens of awards including the Robert F. Kennedy
Journalism Award.
I double dog
dare you to read this book. Investigative
journalism at its best…hard hitting with no holds barred.
