Democracy Now! presents the voices of people prevented from earning
livable wages, fired for organizing for labor rights, incarcerated
unjustly, bombed illegally, discriminated against, foreclosed on,
spied upon, disenfranchised and deported. They call us to the
better angels of our democracy.--Jim Swearingen, The National Book
Review
A sweeping look at both the origins of the show and its unique role
in American political life. It's also a scathing critique of
corporate media and its corrosive culture.--Sean Illing, Salon
An impassioned book aiming to fuel informed participation, outrage,
and dissent.--Kirkus Reviews
"If you're of the opinion that the big events and pivotal moments
we've been seeing over the last decade or two is overblown or
easily dismissed, read this book and see how the salient details of
the American political and cultural landscape have unfolded in the
Internet Age. Likely Democracy Now! was covering it. This work will
inform and enlighten you."--Pittsburgh Post Gazette
