From Bill Moyers Journal: Glenn Greenwald and Amy Goodman Win Independent Media Award

Amy Goodman and Glenn Greenwald are the first recipients of the Park Center for Independent Media Izzy Award (named for I.F. Stone) — named "Pillars of independent media, chosen for the award, because of their journalistic courage and persistence in confronting conventional wisdom and official deception."

"I think the way the media works is they show the spectrum of opinion between the Democrats and the Republicans in Washington. Often that is very narrow. But the fact is, the majority of Americans fall outside of that opinion." -Amy Goodman

"It's not even some sort of Machiavellian or conspiratorial effort, sometimes, to exclude certain opinions. It's actually the fact that reporters — and media stars — and corporate and establishment journalists are so embedded into the establishment...That they're so completely insular and out of touch from what public opinion actually is. And polls show that huge numbers of issues and positions that are held by large numbers of Americans are ones that are virtually never heard in our media discussions." - Glenn Greenwald

3. I wish I could give each of them like $3 billion prize and see what they would do

with it. Would they get better and more reporters and outlets or what?

They speak out against the madness pretty well, but have such a difficult time breaking through the baloney narrative of the MSM. The stories they report are often many months or even years ahead of when the stories are eventually reported by the MSM, if they are at all.
