IWTnews HIGHLIGHTS

NEW INTERVIEWS WITH PHYLLIS BENNIS, PHIL DONAHUE, AMY GOODMAN and DANNY SCHECHTER

Phyllis Bennis: "The polls indicate Iraqis in large numbers are against the US troop presence, even now. But we're not seeing that on television."

Phil Donahue: "I think the idea of creating a television news source that is not beholden to corporate interests is Nirvana."

Amy Goodman: "Not finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq exposed more than the Bush administration. It exposed a media that acted as a conveyor belt for the lies of the Bush administration."

Danny Schecter: "This administration has been particularly determined to control information. They have a strategy called information dominance, which drives the Pentagon info war."
