I wouldn't say Google is worthless, but you are right, those hits could be interpreted in different ways, and not all of them are OUR Amy Goodman.

The only way to settle this, is for someone (not me) to go thru all of Amy's past shows, find out how many have an anti-Israel bias, and then go over all of her coverage of Sudan to date and count those shows. I would recommend just going back since Sept. 2000 when the intifada began, because Sudan was already a big issue then too.

You see, I've listened to Amy Goodman for years and have heard dozens and dozens of shows where she provides a forum for people who have some criticism of Israel. Rarely do I find her to balance these shows out with an Israeli viewpoint. I have heard precious little on Sudan.

So before I even began my google search, I was pretty darn sure what I would find. I personally don't need any more evidence to convince me that Amy Goodman has a bias against Israel and she uses her show to propagate that bias.

Now everyone has a bias. I have a bias. But for you to DENY that Amy Goodman has NOT presented show after show after show with anti-Israel guests is for you to deny reality.

As for Sudan, she has not done nearly enough considering the magnitutude of the tragedy. My guess is that Arab on Arab violence has no potential to bash Israel with.

BECKY: The difference is, the Janjaweed ARE committing genocide and the Israelis aren't.

UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 15 - The United Nations health agency said Friday that the death toll in refugee camps in the Darfur region of Sudan had reached 70,000, and that people would continue dying at the rate of 10,000 a month.

From: www.ifamericansknew.org

3,587 Palestinians and 1,042 Israelis have been killed since September 29, 2000.

So in the current conflict (started by the Palestinians!!)after four and a half YEARS, 4,629 people have been killed on both sides. While in Sudan,70,000 have died and its 10,000 a month in addition. Moral equivalence? You've got to be joking.
