Amy Goodman: Democracy Now! Covering the Movements Changing America | Bioneers 2017

The award-winning journalist Amy Goodman, host of that pillar of progressive media Democracy Now!, is, without doubt, the most indispensable voice reporting with urgent immediacy on the front lines of the most critical struggles facing our nation and world. She will speak about the increased threats to freedom of the press and the crucial importance of truly independent media to hold those in power accountable. In more than 20 years of reporting, Democracy Now! has covered the social movements long ignored by the corporate media, and that are now forming the groundswell of opposition to the Trump administration.

This speech was given at the 2017 National Bioneers Conference.

A sustainable world to be be enjoyed by the elite, not accessible to the rest of us. Even when doing good work, we need to be sooo very careful that we dont become unwitting, useful idiots . 80/20....80% truth, 20% falsehood, seems to be the name of the game.

With all due respect, Amy often speaks about climate change and never mentions Geo-engineering.
