Leftgatekeepers and Democracy Now

Excerpt:

Hypocrisy Now!

One of the most notable cases of Left denial is that of the respected journalist Amy Goodman and her show Democracy Now!. Goodman has long rebuffed requests that she interview an expert on the subject. Instead she has tiptoed around the core facts of the attack and addressed only peripheral issues, such as the EPA's fraudulent assurances that the air in Lower Manhattan was safe to breathe while Ground Zero was still smoldering. Finally, after a concerted campaign by the 9-11 Visibility Project, Goodman featured David Ray Griffin, author of The New Pearl Harbor, on her May 26, 2004 show. Goodman pitted Chip Berlet against Griffin, and gave the last word and closing summary to Berlet, who spun the myth that the attack was strictly blowback. Nonetheless, Griffin was allowed to make the case that the attack was an inside job for the first time ever on the nationally syndicated show.
Mark Robinowitz recounts confronting Amy Goodman about her refusal to cover the issue prior to the Griffin interview.

George Soros' "Parallel Anti-War Media/Movement"
by bob feldman
Perhaps Amy Goodman should finally make full disclosure of all foundation grants that either the Pacifica Foundation, WBAI, Democracy Now, WBAI, KPFA, the Indymedia Centers, Free Speech TV, Deep Dish TV, the Pacifica Campaign or the Downtown studio from which she broadcasted in 2000 and/or in 2001 have received since 1992?

Excerpt:
Fish today is President of The Nation Institute’s Board of Trustees. Among his fellow Board members are Katrina vanden Heuvel, Victor Navasky, and Tim Robbins.

Fish is also a political advisor to George Soros, billionaire financier of the left. During the 2000 presidential primary campaign, Fish was instrumental in the planning of Soros’ alternative Shadow Convention -- an assemblage of radicals which, under Soros' influence, metamorphosed into the so-called Shadow Party that has shaped contemporary Democratic politics and funded many leftwing causes. Between 1999 and 2004, Soros' Open Society Institute made grants totaling at least $270,000 to entities on whose boards Fish and/or Nation publisher-owner Victor Navasky sat -- including a $50,000 grant to The Nation Institute.
