"Amy Goodman has taken investigative journalism to new heights of exciting, informative, and probing analysis."-Noam Chomsky

"You can learn more of the truth about Washington and the world from one week of Amy Goodman's Democracy Now! (www.democracynow.org) than from a month of Sunday morning talk shows. Make that a year of Sunday talk shows. That's because Amy, as you will discover on every page of this book, knows the critical question for journalists is how close they are to the truth, not how close they are to power."--From the Preface by Bill Moyers

Amy Goodman, award-winning host of the daily internationally broadcast radio and television program Democracy Now!, breaks through the corporate media's lies, sound bites, and silence in this wide-ranging new collection of articles. In place of the usual suspects-the "experts" who, in Goodman's words, "know so little about so much, explain the world to us, and get it so wrong"-this accessible, lively collection allows the voices the corporate media exclude and ignore to be heard loud and clear.

Amy Goodman is an award-winning investigative journalist and syndicated columnist, author and the host/executive producer of Democracy Now! airing on nearly 800 stations worldwide. Goodman is the first journalist to receive the Right Livelihood Award, widely known as the 'Alternative Nobel Prize.' Goodman is the co-author of three New York Times bestsellers: Standing Up to the Madness, Static, and The Exception to the Rulers.
