12668020, Are you down with Democracy Now.Org?
Posted by initiationofplato, Fri Dec-05-14 11:49 AM
The news report is always on point, unfiltered, and truthful. Try to avoid CNN and BBC as they are generally bias.

if you ask yourself
how did we not know about all of these homocide by police stories
CNN, FOX and MSNBC are the answer
|
12668071, I don't know those, thank you very much.

Been listening to them on KPFK/ Pacifica for years...try Thom Hartmann too. Dude is super smart and on point with most things. He's a little too tied to the Democratic Party for my taste, but he usually has his finger on the pulse.
Amy Goodman is a god-send.

12668068, they're the truth. i've been to a taping & dinner guest of amy/the show
Posted by rawsouthpaw, Fri Dec-05-14 12:18 PM
her and i got to explain to the other guests, an older couple that had moved to syria, who stephen colbert was which was awesome. i described my trip to his show taping and she shared how crazy it was to be a guest. she said his producers explained to her to treat him like he was a drunk when trying to get her point across.

12668072, they all have a bias, whether institutional or antinstitution
Posted by naame, Fri Dec-05-14 12:21 PM
I listen for interviews i may not see anywhere else but they definitely can show their bias.
|
12668076, DemocracyNow is not anti-institution.
Posted by initiationofplato, Fri Dec-05-14 12:23 PM
Give it a try you may be surprised at how honorable and democratic their reporting is.

12668094, they got me a few months ago w/Noam Chomsky's UN address
Posted by bentagain, Fri Dec-05-14 12:30 PM
I was on the home leg of a road trip
and caught his UN address on the Israel/Palestine conflict
it was the fuckin' truth...
...but no other media outlets covered it in the US...hmmm
|
12668096, I saw that too, very powerful and thought provoking.
Posted by initiationofplato, Fri Dec-05-14 12:31 PM
It is clear as day that the mainstream and public media is a propaganda channel for the capitalist agenda, and nothing more.
|
12668073, The content is good, Amy Goodman's voice gets on my nerves
Posted by Sarah_Bellum, Fri Dec-05-14 12:21 PM
I'm not a fan of the format or the editing either but we'd be better off more people listened to DN than CNN or MSNBC.
|
12668077, yeah, nowadays I just read their web articles for the most part
Posted by rawsouthpaw, Fri Dec-05-14 12:24 PM
so glad they've managed to stay on sustainably as a outlet.
|
12668089, I like em with my dollars
Posted by DaHeathenOne76, Fri Dec-05-14 12:29 PM
Amy Goodman's voice bothers me so I just read the transcripts

12668101, I'm used to her voice now, there was one episode however,
Posted by initiationofplato, Fri Dec-05-14 12:34 PM
where her voice was breaking/cracking at a pretty frequent rate, lol, it was painful to say the least.
|
12668106, I feel bad like with Diane Rehm but. . .n/m
