Democracy Now! Audio - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have listened to your radio program for many decades. I stopped listening to it because it is only focused on news from Europe and not incorporating news about Mexico, Central America and South America as it should be highlighted more prominently. You need to incorporate more of this news because it’s impactful to us in the United States directly, and it also overlaps European news. Over half of your show should not focus on news from only Europe.

You will hear stories that you will never hear on CNN, Fox, BBC, etc. Excellent reporting and interviews w/ guests that are never invited on other news outlets.

One weakness: the podcast intro/outro music …yikes! Please change it, omg it’s so bad.

Two primary reasons for my listening to DN are: coverage of international developments that is deeper and more trustworthy and coverage of movement actions for change unskewed by corporate funders. To accuse DN of spewing leftist and socialist propaganda without acknowledging biased reporting influenced by corporate interests is willfully blind and deaf. Status quo preservation is the aim with change viewed as bad for business.

My go to source for daily news. I can depend upon Democracy Now to be honest and more than headlines and sound bites.

Poignant. Seared my soul to know the real consequences of a war of extermination by one who survived and lives to write poems as a lasting testimony of a suffering people.

Thank you, Amy, for your lifelong commitment to be the voice of the marginalized, the suffering masses crying out for help.

Your stories keep the flame of justice and resistance to power to burn brightly in those who care.

I’ve been a regular listener to DN for almost 20 years. Unfortunately, since the attack by Hamas on Israel, DN has degenerated into fetishizing the Palestinians cause, providing a relentless torrent of accusations against Israel without even the pretense of being balanced. Simply put, this program is too credulous when it comes to such accusations and, in the process, seems to be positioning itself as a professional left perpetual outrage machine. As such, it is increasingly undermining its credibility and, as a result, does little to advocate for thoughtful ways to address the horrors of the actions by both Israel AND the antisemites that wish to kill Jews and destroy the state of Israel. This program needs to pull back from acting like a Palestinian News Network and be more sober about a very complicated and tragic situation. It can start by not bringing on histrionic observers and move toward more thoughtful commentary.
