Interesting book, worth reading but I admit to some strong suspicions concerning Ms. Goodman's reportage - - yes, she does have on the occasional David Talbot or Nomi Prins [although giving Ms. Prins far too short of time on air], and infrequently others, but frequently her show comes off as CNN Lite, reporting on the same banal stuff on a most superficial level. An example of why I wonder how much those foundations' influence her: when WikiLeaks' Julian Assange was in the news with Sweden's [and that's the Swedish government - - there have been ZERO individual plaintiffs against him] extradition attempts, Goodman's show hosted the excellent Naomi Wolf, feminist author, arguing on Assange's behalf, and Jaclyn Friedman, an unkown supposed author and poet - - a self-described hardcore Lesbian who claimed to have been sexually assaulted as in college she went out on a drinking spree with the all-male college wrestling team and awokened to view a sleeping guy run his hand down her jean-clad leg?!?! Friedman is published through Perseus Books, then owned by Perseus LLC, which was the listed business contact address for American Friends of Bilderberg, Inc. - - directors: David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Richard Perle, et al. Goodman never mentions this stuff?
