In addition to the regular program, I got Part 2 which downloads as a podcast
to my stream. If you listened to the program, you'll have noticed that a good
part of it came from the Intercepted podcast, as does a good part of part 2 of
the interview. One of the interesting things about Democracy Now is that it
uses certain sources that are very good and others that aren't, and it shuns
some excellent sources of news which, I suppose, it considers to be too far
left. Those include Max Bloomenthal and Ben Norton, and Ranya Kalig, Kenneth
Gestola, and Tom Postal and others whose names I can't think of, which is why
their info on Syria has been so poor. They've had nothing on Nicaragua, (too
controversial for them), and not enough on Venezuela. I notice that they
haven't had Stephen Cohen back to talk about his new book about Russiagate.
Some of the cutting edge stuff is now on The Real News and on Loud and Clear
which, because it's on the Sputnik network, isn't afraid of having anyone of
whom the US mainstream disapproves.
