Whatever Happened to "Democracy Now?"
Thursday, 12 June 2008 10:23
This is the second time in a week where Goodman’s editorial judgment has

forced to take notice (with Jon Stewart of the Daily Show going so far
as to refer to the lobby group as the 'Elders of Zion', Democracy Now

Sunday. The Whitehall ban has been immediately condemned as a
"totalitarian act" by the playwright Harold Pinter, while Stop the War
organisers are urging people to defy it and to demonstrate nearby in
