Widely
recognized as Americas most fiercely independent award-winning
journalist, Amy Goodman is host of DEMOCRACY NOW!, Pacifica's daily investigative television and radio news program. Pioneering the largest
public media collaboration in the U.S., the program is broadcast nationally
on over 500 public radio and television stations across the country, including Free Speech TV (Dish Network satellite channel 9415) and
on Link TV (Dish Network satellite channel 9410 and LInk TV satellite channel 375).
In this talk, Goodman speaks out
about the dangers to our civil liberties posed by the Patriot Act
and other repressive government measures, the threats to an independent
press posed by FCC rules to allow further corporate consolidation
of major media, and the deceptions of the Bush administration in launching
the invasion of Iraq.
Since 1996, DEMOCRACY NOW! has provided perspectives
rarely heard in the U.S. corporate-sponsored media. The program regularly
features independent and international journalists, grassroots leaders
and peace activists, artists, academics, and independent analysts
addressing the most critical issues of our time.
