Amy Goodman - Speech - D.C., 2008

"Standing Up to the Madness: Ordinary Heroes in Extraordinary Times" - The Bush administration has manipulated and fabricated news to suit its purposes while the corporate media has worked hand in glove with the powerful to deceive the public. Many people are fighting back, but their stories too often go untold. Goodman will expose how all this has happened and will report on the many people who would have taken a stand for the sake of democracy. A leading voice for more than 20 years, award-winning journalist Goodman is the host of Democracy Now! and coauthor of The Exception to the Rulers and the newly published Static.
