Steven Donziger

Everything that's old is new again.

And then the other one, which is still an issue that people will see in the courts, the Donziger case, right? in Colombia with the oil spill.

Ecuador,

yeah.

and who is the biggest client, Chevron.

So when Steve Donziger, this human rights lawyer, won this huge settlement for indigenous people in Ecuador and Chevron just distorted the legal system to disbar him and put him under house arrest and even briefly imprison him, the New York Times just didn't cover it because they weren't going to alienate Chevron.

So yeah, and that's why so many people have gravitated towards alternative media because of the bankruptcy of the traditional media so I have a show as you know the Chris Hedges report those and I don't think I'm particularly good on TV I'm not very slick or anything but those shows get staggering I mean two million views two and a half million views but I think it's more it's not because I'm particularly good at it it's because they're just such a deficit and people are so hungry to be you know presented with honest critique that isn't catering to commercial interests.

And that's why the response by the traditional media has not been to rectify those problems within itself but to try and suppress people like me.
