NEW YORK, Aug. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- As tens of thousands of people descend on New York City this weekend to protest the Republican National Convention, the acclaimed independent radio/TV host and best-selling author Amy Goodman will be in the streets, inside the convention, and available to comment on the RNC and protests.

Perhaps no other broadcast journalist of national standing is more familiar with the massive antiwar movement that has emerged over the past two years.
On Sept. 11, 2001, Amy Goodman was broadcasting live just blocks from Ground Zero when the planes hit the towers. In 2003 Goodman hosted the only national broadcast of the historic Feb. 15 anti-war rally that attracted hundreds of thousands in New York and millions around-the-world.
In Goodman's new book, THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULERS: Exposing Oily Politicians, War Profiteers, and the Media That Love Them (published in April by Hyperion) award-winning journalist Amy Goodman, exposes the lies, corruption, and crimes of the power elite-an elite that is bolstered by large media conglomerates.
A veteran journalist, Goodman's brand of reporting is hard-hitting, no-holds-barred, and, at times, confrontational with both Democrats and Republicans.
Bill Clinton called her "hostile, combative, and even disrespectful." Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said, 'I have advised my mother to talk to no reporters because of . . . people like you.'
In the lead-up to the Iraq invasion, Democracy Now! was the only nationally syndicated news program to consistently challenge the administration's false claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
"Tune to the show that got it right to begin with," says Goodman, who will be broadcasting Democracy Now! on 240 radio and TV stations during the convention, expanding its coverage to two hours for its ground-breaking series "Breaking With Convention: Battle for New York."
Publisher's Weekly called Goodman's THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULERS, "bracing and timely ... fierce and tireless ... Goodman's analysis of Iraq War contracts won by certain key Bush campaign donors will open many eyes ..."
Since its publication, Goodman has been a guest on national TV and radio shows, and her book has appeared on many bestseller lists nationwide including the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Denver Post, and on The New York Times.
