The Exception to the Rulers

Exposing Oily Politicians, War Profiteers, and

the Media That Love Them

by Amy Goodman

acclaimed host of Pacifica Network’s Democracy Now!

with David Goodman

“Journalist and radio host Goodman brings her hard-hitting, no-holds-barred brand of reporting to an array of human rights, government accountability and media responsibility issues, and the result is bracing and timely. Goodman isn’t about to let anyone slide by with easy explanations, not even then President Clinton when he called in on her daily Pacifica news show. And she is fierce and tireless in her commitment to dig behind official versions of the facts to get to very different stories. Her analysis of Iraq War contracts won by certain key Bush campaign donors will open many eyes… These and other provocative questions power Goodman’s stirring call for a democratic media serving a democratic society.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“She gets up every morning of every day—long before the rest of us!—to be the only daily voice of truth on the radio in the United States of America. How sad that I even have to write those words! A nation of 300 million, a written guarantee of a free press, and no one will do the job that Amy Goodman does so simply, so profoundly. This book puts the pedal to the metal of all the lies we’re told, day in and day out. Amy Goodman is a national treasure, and if you are unable to pick up her signal on the dial, you can now pick up this book, shake your head in disbelief and disgust as you read it, and then put it down so you can go raise some hell!”

—Michael Moore, director of Bowling for Columbine and author of Stupid White Men and Dude, Where’s My Country?

“In The Exception to the Rulers, Amy Goodman continues the quest for global justice and awareness by bringing us stories and a perspective that we don’t normally get from the mainstream media. This latest effort provides an important forum for people around the world who are engaged in social justice and social change.” —Danny Glover

“Amy Goodman has taken investigative journalism to new heights of exciting, informative, and probing analysis. She has tirelessly pursued the most challenging and hardest questions, relentlessly and courageously. She has made a unique contribution to creating the informed public that must exist if ‘democracy now’ is to be more than a dream.”

—Noam Chomsky, author, 9-11 and Hegemony or Survival

“Amy Goodman has carried the great muckraking tradition of Upton Sinclair, George Seldes, and I. F. Stone into the electronic age, creating a powerful counter to the mainstream media. Her programs have reached into homes across the country, educatinga new generation of listeners on therealities of U.S. policy at home and abroad. The book she has done with her brother is a very welcome and important addition to the dissident literature of our time.”

—Howard Zinn, historian and author of A People’s History of the United States

“At times when people are told to ‘watch what they say,’ Amy Goodman is not afraid to speak truth to power. She does it every day.”

—Susan Sarandon

“Amy Goodman and Democracy Now! represent what journalism should be: beholden to the interests of people, not power and profit. Her work is invaluable.”

—Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things and War Talk
