Description: She reduced Sally Jesse Rafael to tears. Charlie Rose was red in the face after her comments. Bill Clinton called her “hostile, combative, and even disrespectful.” Newt Gingrich said to her, “You’re the kind of reporter I warned my mother about.” Meet Amy Goodman, award-winning journalist and host of a daily hour-long talk show that is a beacon for passionate, critical and hard-hitting news that cow-tows to no one. On subjects ranging from the deceptions of the Bush Administration to media monopolies and from the Patriot Act to corporate influence over the government, Amy Goodman attacks and exposes the lies and hypocrisy of officialdom everywhere.
