Amy Goodman visits Google's Mountain View office to present her book "Breaking the Sound Barrier". This event took place on April 30, 2010, as part of the Authors@Google series. Amy Goodman breaks through the corporate medias lies, sound-bites, and silence in this wide-ranging new collection of articles. In place of the usual suspects, the experts who, in Goodmans words, know so little about so much, explain the world to us, and get it so wrong," this accessible, lively collection allows the voices the corporate media exclude and ignore to be heard loud and clear. From community organizers in New Orleans, to the courageous American soldiers who've said "No" to Washington's wars, to the victims of torture and police violence, we are given the extraordinary opportunity to hear ordinary people standing up and speaking out. As Willie Nelson says, "There is no one who should be more on the mainstream media, every day reminding us and giving us a glimpse of the power of one." Written with all of the fierce intelligence and passion for truth that millions have come to expect from Amy Goodmans reportage, Breaking the Sound Barrier is, in Arianna Huffington's words, "crusading journalism at its best." and, here's an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqy-67mSQHk

May 6, 2010 - That video she's talking about is on youtube (collateral murder - wikileaks - iraq) and it's the most upsetting thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Those soldiers had no reason to shoot. What they "identified" as an AK-47 was small and square shape. If you've ever played counterstrike or battlefield you'll recognize their tone of voice. The comments under the video are equally heartless and without empathy. I can't believe that that is humanity. What is wrong with us?
