I hate to bring you the news but Amy's objectively the moderate wing of fascism
Goodman and Democracy now! never met a color revolution/regime change they didn't embrace and support. From Libya, Syria, Hong Kong to Georgia (I might of missed a few). I was a big Democracy Now! watcher before, then came Libya. Juan Cole was their regular guest for the Libya coverage leading up the NATO bombing and assasination of Gaddafi. Juan Cole was a big chearleader for the "moderate" rebels, and was orgasmic when Gaddafi was killed. On to Syria, and all her guests were again pro rebels, calling for a no fly zone. After Trump bombed Syria, next day Goodman had on a Syrian-American activist guest to give her views. The Syrian American activist was very upset with Trump, not because of Amerikkka was bombing another Middle Eastern country, but Trump bombed an empty air field, she wanted Trump's bomb to cause actual death and destruction lol wtf. Then comes Hong Kong, Goodman's regular guests were Hong Kong liberals, and one was begging Trump for help. That was my last straw, never watched Democracy Now! again.
Also had a full segment on Xinjiang with our favorite "expert" Zenz.
Forgot to mention their coverage when Liu Xiaobo was arrested by China. For those who don't remember him, he was a Nobel winner (Peace prize?), and was a liberal darling for standing up against the CPC. Democracy Now! of course was also a fan, guests were praising him and they even aired a bunch of celebs reading his works. Liu Xiaobo is a Euro supremacists, he supported Bush's Iraq War to tame the muslims and thinks China should've been colonized for 100 years.
American lefties and having dogshit foreign policy opinions, name a more iconic duo
