Democracy Now! Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Why do you care about Palestine?

  Experiencing human stories and situations first-hand and putting a face and a name on what exactly happened is one of the best ways to gradually become slightly more enlightened. Everyone needs a passport and to travel, including to places that make them uncomfortable, to find out what life is about, to separate the real from lies, and realize there are wonders and wonderful people throughout the world.

• Fascists expertly exploit the free press: Media rush to rehabilitate reputations of Trump's regime

• NPR is Not Your Friend | National Public Radio began as a scrappy institution featuring the voices of average Americans. Today it’s a sterile, inoffensive corporate product that is produced, funded, and consumed by a narrow demographic of highly educated liberals.

  I suggest Pacifica Radio. They haven't embraced corporate sponsors like PBS and NPR have, and are entirely funded by listeners. Founded by a couple anarcho-pacifists back in the 1950-60s. Folks might be familiar with Democracy Now. Well, that's where the show got its start, and it still airs there. Source: about 2 years ago

• The whitewashing of Queen Elizabeth's reign

  He's so... bothered! If you examine the affairs of the Crown though, it's impossible not to be. The whitewashing began almost instantly. The /r/ontario subreddit posted a pinned megathread that would not allow any critical comments about QEII, the Crown, or the monarchy. Basically every MSM news org had bootlicking and fawning for the entire coverage so far, without any criticism. Thankfully democracynow.org had... Source: about 2 years ago

• Does anyone listen to 1100AM radio?

  For a different brand of American political perspective on the radio, CKUW 95.9 FM airs Democracy Now every weekday at 9am. The show title seems to getting more relevant by the year. Source: over 2 years ago

• I have a catalog of United States coverups and crimes. I am a 17 year old kid who is concerned about the world. I will expose the imperialist scum.

  If there's new material here, get it to an anti-imperialist publication (like The Intercept, Democracy Now!, Jacobin, or Current Affairs) so it can be properly analysed and reported on. Source: about 3 years ago

• Strange reverb issue?

  Even more strange, when I play videos from youtube there is no reverb. But when I play the news from democracynow.org, there the reverb comes again (wtf?) so it's not even application specific. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Source: about 3 years ago

• Condo developer plans to buy $1-billion worth of single-family houses in Canada for rentals.

  Yes but you have to go out and do your research to find out how it works. For example there was an American article picked up by democracynow.org, citizen.org, truthout.org, commondreams.org, and politico, about 55 US corps that paid zero tax in 2020 spending 450 millon on lobbying. In Canada we don't have the strong skeptical watchdog presence. Source: over 3 years ago

• china is rightwing

  "Unbiased" is impossible, but in terms of being more honest and journalistically ethical and the like, look for non-mainstream media. Shit done without corporate or state backing. Like Pacifica Radio (e.g. Democracy Now). Source: over 3 years ago

• "This is our businesses. The United States must acknowledge its role in the injustice and human rights violations of Palestinians. This is not about both sides. This is about an imbalance of power." - AOC on the House floor

  I recommend Democracy Now (https://democracynow.org) and other Pacifica Radio programs (https://kpfa.org) instead. Source: over 3 years ago
