In a perfect world, "DemocracyNow!" would be the default news source on National Public Radio and all Public Television stations so it could be used as the reliability lens and the GOLD STANDARD by which all the other craptastic "pay-for-play" for-profit "news"-networks are judged.
Amy Goodman was shoved to the ground and brought face-to-face with the barrel of an M-16 in East Timor and she didn't blink. She saved her cameraman and lived to report the story. She PUT HERSELF in that position KNOWING FULL-WELL that a news crew Australia (New Zealand?) was EXECUTED by those same M-16s - in full view of the public and all the other reporters and their news cameras JUST THE PREVIOUS WEEKEND.
That's why some pis$ant little squirt like Russert, or Matthews or Sean "Don't Muss My Hair" Hannity aren't worthy of sharpening her pencils. Amy RULEZ!
On the other hand, Don Imus MIGHT be joining "FOX News & Friends" - so those 'wedge-issue White House propaganda-points' and Anna Nicole Smith Breaking News Updates will CERTAINLY become more "colorful" if that actually happens.
