Democracy Now: the best show on radio or TV, who does not listen?

[txprog]

Probably most on this board. But if you don't, check it out and check it out now. It is superb, unabashedly biased, and a great tonic for all liberals and progressives. Lots of great guests, many we know and love, and lots of exploration of topics the mainstream media won't touch. Amy Goodman and her staff do a phenomenal job.



I usually listen on KPFA, which airs the show at 9AM and 12 noon eastern:

1. I've never thought it was that biased

If there is a bias, it's in the choosing of topics to report on. Even there, however, they mostly choose stories that aren't getting sufficient scrutiny in the mainstream media.

If you listen to Amy's interviews, even of the occasional right-wing/establishment guest, she is a hell of a lot more fair and professional than anything you'll see on Faux or CNN.

There's no question while watching the show that it has a 'left-wing' slant, but I think the slant comes more from what it chooses to investigate than from overt statements, etc...
