All they’ve done throughout their 24-year professional lives together with their team is tell the truth.

Sometimes, what they report ticks me off, but I know it’s what they found.

Truth, the antidote for what we’re living:

and I give Goodman and the rest all the praise they deserve. They were an oasis of clarity in a desert of propaganda through recent decades. That being said in recent years they're giving Greenwald and his ilk way too much coverage and they seem to be a hive of Bernie activity and disinformation.

Green Party etc.

I'm not interested....

She called all the flag waving after 9/11 Nazism. I find that type of discussion not to be very helpful. She could have called it superficial patriotism and been more critical and explored it in depth, but she simply called it Nazis.

The US has no real news. It’s all pretty much editorial masquerading as news.

If u cannot get it, then stream Al Jazeera.

No one listens to NPR anymore. They lost their relevancy when they gave into the both-sidesism long, long ago.
