I get the feeling Amy Goodman won't be asked back on CNN.....

[marmar]

because she speaks too much truth for them to handle. Keep on kicking that ass, Amy.

[dchill]

1. Truth? Yeah, they're not used to that.

[villager]

2. "Truth" isn't part of their "business model...." nt.

[dchill]

3. A long time ago it was...

Now they've all come down with a bad case of hillaroids.

[Buzz cook]

5. Zweet Jezuz its called Clinton journalism for a reason nt

4. One of the biggest rules in the media is

Don't attack the media. Oh its ok to call the media liberal, just don't point out specific things the media fucks up or the people that do the fucking up.

If you want to be a success in the media be wrong in the approved inside the beltway manner.

[Dragonfli]

6. Wow, a real journalist on CNN, I must be on some form of acid my dog ruffied in my coffee /nt

I have no other way to explain seeing such a thing.

[Art_from_Ark]

14. I think they might have had some real journalists back in the Ted Turner days

[gyroscope]

7. Corporate media answer to their corporate advertisers

they are neither free nor independent.

[Volaris]

8. That is why broadcast, radio, and cable news programming

Should be federally required to be revenue-neutral. Sure, sell ads and pay staffs whatever the market will bear, but ALL profit should be donated to State or public Journalism Programs (or...whatever).

You wanna do news then you can consider it a Public Service, or you can announce at the beginning and end of every revenue-generaring ad break that what your doing is ENTERTAINMENT, and exists to MAKE MONEY rather than to Educate and Inform.

9. Ana Kasparian was on the same show, she probably won't be back either

[marmar]

17. That woman who was on with Ana....

.... has three brain cells, two of which are fighting each other.

[Skittles]

10. she nails everything, right on

*love* Ms. Goodman

[Uncle Joe]

11. Amy Goodman is a class act, probably too much class for the corporate media conglomerates to handle.

Thanks for the thread, marmar.

[Nyan]

12. It's not just journalists. Goes the same for experts and scholars.

Scholars don't appear more than once on CNN if they make points that matter.
CNN has an amazing system in place where they so successfully weed out smart people. Only the dumb get through there.
CNN is really something. I watch FOX sometimes for a good laugh -and they do have me in stitches-, and CNN is not even funny.

[burrowowl]

13. Why am I not surprised!?

[lovemydog]

15. I hope she's asked back repeatedly because

people really understand what she's saying and she says things so well.

Keep on rockin' Amy. Love you.

[bbgrunt]

16. I'm amazed they had her on....someone has been brave and should be commended

[Vinca]

18. At long last a person who makes a few valid points and isn't on the screen to fill up air time.

A little while ago they interviewed a couple of South Carolina officials about the Democratic primary - one for Hillary and one for Bernie. It was a talking points bonanza. Blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada. We've heard it all before. It's refreshing to hear something other than talking points.

[Blue Owl]

19. CNN will do the thinkin round there...

[hopemountain]

20. hope some folks are inspired to

tune in to democracy now. go amy!
