I don't recall Saturday or Sunday, but she was on for around a half hour. Breath of fresh air given the huge amount of time they give AEI and HF.

'Requiem for the American Dream' -- about 70 minutes. Do not listen when you are tired, smile. Requires concentration.

The election cycle has driven me crazy and I have been actively looking for alternate media and information sources outside of cable. Found this by happy accident.

Darren Aronofsky's film Requiem for a Dream, which is excellent but very disturbing in a different way!

Mom loved the flower gardens and the fountain light show. I couldn't get enough of the indoor tropical rooms.
A grower's workshop there must have been wonderful.

And don't forget Thom Hartmann's weekday evening show. Again free on the Internet if you are willing to wait until it is posted as a video a couple of hours after its live streamcast.

Also there is The Young Turks and The Ring of Fire. I have practically abandoned all TV news - broadcast and cable - in favor of these programs.

You nailed it, NRaleighLiberal! Just imagine a fair and informative media! It would transform the nation.

If the miscreants running this country would give it some thought, if they would only consider a path of righteousness. They would actually benefit more from a real democracy than this sham they prop up.

actually benefit from an educated and informed populace?

None of them. Which is why we will never see what you suggest.

Anyone who hasn`t tuned in to Amy Goodman should do so, then think about what they just saw and heard....as compared to ANY corporate media "news" program. The difference is stunning.
