19. Recognised her awesomeness

from the first time I heard her on WBAI, a very long time ago.

She is THE GOLD standard of what journalism is supposed to be (in a perfect world).

[Spitfire of ATJ]

9. Her coverage of the CIA led coop in Haiti and the return of Aristide was first rate.

[Duval]

Thanks for the videos.

11. I truly regret that I can only rec this once

There are but a few real journalists left in this land of so called free press. Amy Goodman is the best of the bunch!

[zeemike]

12. Yep one of the few true journalist left.

She deserves as much praise as she can get.

[Dustlawyer]

13. Amy Goodman is the Bernie Sanders of journalism! She tells the truth!

She is not bought off like the MSM who is complicit in so much!

One example is the Exxon story above, "A Rouge Company." Exxon knew of the affect their product is having on our ecosystem and yet covered it up with lies and disinformation. Amy asked the expert all of the right questions, such as why would Exxon study the climate. Sadly, Exxon chose to cover it up, just like they did for asbestos, which was heavily used in their refining operations as insulation, gaskets, valve packing, fire bricks, boilers, turbines... They and the other oil companies and asbestos companies knew in 1932, from a study done by Metropolitan Life insurance company, and funded by the members of the National Safety Council, that asbestos was deadly.

Do you see a pattern here? These companies can not be trusted to protect our health and environment when it conflicts with their profits. That is why Amy Goodman is so important because very few others will tell the truth!

37. Love her!

[Matariki]

15. I can't stand her

but it's personal and not her journalism.

[Duppers]

17. Whhaat?

Why make such a statement.

[Matariki]

20. I worked with her

a long time ago. Visceral reaction every time I see or hear her. Entirely personal and I do think she's a very good journalist. But I still can't stand her

[Duppers]

21. Okay. Thanks for the clarification.

[NoMoreRepugs]

38. if you were a waiter would you tell me what your

favorite dishes are??

[Matariki]

I don't understand your question

Unless you have cable and get Al Jazeera or BBC America, you can't GET the news like DN!

[SheilaT]

26. I wake up to her every morning.

I've met her several times at public events, and though she wouldn't know exactly who I am, I felt very privileged to meet her.

[leveymg]

27. One of the last independent trustworthy voices in media. She is essential.

[tularetom]

28. In te dictionary, next to the word "journalist", they should have a picture of Amy Goodman

There is nobody I can think of who more closely typifies what the word means.
