Pissed with Amy Goodman, Democracy Now

I don't know if any saw today's show, but dammit, I was not pleased. I consider myself as opposed to a large amount of the rhetoric/philosophy of the right wing, and especially many of Bush's ambitions (Iraq war, social security, etc.) I have a social conscience and am concerned with world happenings outside of the U.S., and overal, would make a good and happy viewer of a show like Democracy Now.

But the show, even though I very often agree with its take on stories, comes off to me as biased.

Today, there was coverage over Isreal removing Jewish residents from Gaza. There was one man representing Jewish residents, and no less than THREE representing the views of the Palestinians! WTF? Also, Goodman's presentation of the issue seemed unfair. I am concerned with Isreali occupation of those areas, but still...

Anyone have similar feelings?

Eek, there's a bias in my soup. Waiter, fetch me another restaurant, please.
