This week she was on Bill Moyers talking about her 70 City Tour, and how she is checking on America, and she showed footage from Seattle where she checked on the Homeless at Nickelsville and spoke about the rise in Homelessness and Tent Cities....I would like to go see her and hear what else she is seeing across America....

Wow! She'd be great to hear speak.
Here is a link to her (true) journalism skills regarding questions about leaving 50,000 troops in Iraq & the Afghan surge.
Was it Amy who was arrested during the RNC???

yeah, it was Amy who was arrested with her producers- and she had ALL of her Press Passes on and the Agents ripped them off her neck...I love her show...and read it online ( it is not aired here anymore)...
thousands posted her Arrest video in August...( I will repost it...) and that helped her case...( and MSM did not even cover- shame on them)
She is also on Bill Moyers this week....really amazing lady.....
( I have to work...so I don't know if I will see her....so so bummed)...
She made the comment that although it was important to cover the story inside the RNC (staged), it was important to leave the venue, and report on what was happening outside the staged event.
That was a crazy scene-- with pre emptive arrests of march organizers (actually SWAT team raids & seizure of computers, people ordered to the floor kind if thing), then the bashing of heads on the streets of the 10,000 protestors- Bush & Cheney did not even show up for their own party's convention .
She mentioned it was the internet coverage (not MSM) that made that incident public.
Sorry you have to work @ the time of her presentation. Maybe local indy media will record it & play it back in it's entirety??
Fran..
you are so funny...I wrote to some folks around and asked if anyone was Yotubing- and they laughed- and said- but e4e we thought you would post...
( urugh.....)I guess I was so lucky to see her on Bill Moyers this week...that was a treat...
