56 minutes • VHS Video

      Widely recognized as America’s most fiercely independent award-winning journalist, Amy Goodman is host of DEMOCRACY NOW!, Pacifica Radio’s daily investigative news magazine. Pioneering the largest public media collaboration in the U.S., the program is broadcast nationally on 160 Pacifica, NPR, and community radio stations across the country, and internationally on short-wave radio by Radio For Peace International, as well as on the internet. In addition, the program is televised nationally on Free Speech TV (Dish Network satellite television) and on many cable public access channels.

      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 recent FCC rules to allow further corporate consolidation of major media, and the lies 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.
