In praise of ...

... Amy Goodman

Possibly my favourite person. In the world. Ever. I am actually quite in love with her. She is a fantastic journalist and has spent years furthering the broadcast of liberal news in the USA. The daily news show Democracy Now! The War and Peace Report, that she hosts with fellow investigative journalist Juan Gonzalez, is an award winning independent programme broadcast throughout the States and on-line across the world. It provides some of the most progressive and diverse news coverage in the USA, often featuring interviews with figures such as Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk and John Pilger. I really cannot praise it enough. The War and Peace Report is the most in-depth and interesting news programme I have had the pleasure of watching and always give voice to those that usually go unheard. But that's not all, Amy has been an investigative journalist for over 20 years, reporting on the East Timor revolution in 1991 among many other well known events. And if that wasn't enough, she has also written four books, the most recent in 2009. Because I am a fool, I haven't read any of them yet. but they are on my list. I promise. And they should be on yours too. Oh yeah, and her hair is really good. If she'd have me, I would marry her.
