| Summary: | "In The Exception to the Rulers, Amy Goodman, with the aid of her brother David, exposes the lies, corruption, and crimes of the power elite - an elite that is bolstered by large media conglomerates. Her goal is "to go where the silence is, to give voice to the silenced majority." As Goodman travels around the country, she is fond of quoting Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." This book informs and empowers people to act on that principle." "For years, Amy Goodman has confronted the Washington establishment and its corporate cronies while giving voice to the voiceless. She hosts the national radio and TV show Democracy Now!, which began in 1996 as the only daily election show in public broadcasting. It is now the largest public media collaboration in North America. Democracy Now! is not just a show. It is a movement."--BOOK JACKET. |
