I thought you might be interested in the article from the FAIR web site. The following article will be appended to your message: "Democracy Now!" in Danger According to a leaked October 18 memo from "Democracy Now!" host Amy Goodman to the Pacifica Radio network’s Board of Directors, Pacifica presented Goodman with a new set of "rules" on October 16 which drastically curtail her freedom to decide what stories to cover and how, and even attempt to restrict her free speech rights. (The memo was not given to FAIR by Goodman or any other member of the "Democracy Now!" staff.) "Democracy Now!," produced at New York City Pacifica station WBAI, is Pacifica’s most popular and influential show. Hosted by award-winning journalists Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, the daily newsmagazine is on the cutting edge of American journalism, bringing the public stories and voices too often shut out of mainstream media and standing out, as the show’s motto declares, as "the exception to the rulers." Over the last year, the national management of Pacifica has become increasingly hostile to the crew of the show "Democracy Now!", and in particular to Goodman. Goodman’s leaked memo reveals that after fruitless attempts at good-faith negotiations, Goodman has been forced to file formal grievances against Pacifica’s management charging "harassment, gender harassment and censorship," along with other violations of her union contract.
