Re: Amy Goodman Accepts Ruben Salazar Journalism Award at UCSC

Citing the number of google hits you find on something is basically meaningless as we can all read our own meanings into it.

First of all, your figures were a lot different than mine. I got:

"Amy Goodman"+Sudan=5,330
"Amy Goodman"+Israel=44,900
"Amy Goodman"+Palestine=24,400

What does this mean? Well, it could mean that a lot of bloggers are picking up Amy's articles and reposting them on the Internet. It could also mean that the "fake news" sites like frontpagemag are rehashing and twisting her reports like I've seen them do before.

It could also mean that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been going on longer and therefore has more coverage. It could also mean that there are plenty more "Amy Goodman"s out there (besides the one on Democracy Now!) and that quite a few live in Israel. (Seems plausible to me. She's Jewish and her first and last name are fairly common.)

Citing google hits as proof of something is worthless.
