"The increasingly cowed media atmosphere under Trump 2.0 lends additional poignancy to this film's title. Goodman only wishes bigger outlets would amplify her coverage in their own stories, instead of avoiding anything that might trigger yet another late-night Presidential tweeting tantrum."
"As a government official, why is he so afraid to hazard even the most tepid on-the-record statement about his bosses' policies? The fear is so palpable, he won't even give Goodman eye contact."
"Steal outlines her personal background (politically progressive Jewish parents, ancestors who didn't all escape the Holocaust), entree into journalism (smitten with The Phil Donahue Show, she wound up grateful its employment brushoff inadvertently led to a career in independent media), and numerous hairy moments in the field."
The landscape of credible news reporting is increasingly bleak due to biased platforms, corporate media mergers, staffing cuts, and hostility from the current administration. The documentary 'Steal This Story, Please!' portrays journalist Amy Goodman, who is often labeled an activist for addressing issues overlooked by mainstream media. The film highlights Goodman's challenges in a media environment that stifles critical reporting, particularly under the Trump administration, and showcases her commitment to independent journalism despite the risks involved.
