Jun 9, 2008 Big boost for Fighting Bob Fighting Bob Fest organizers attended the National Conference for Media Reform in Minneapolis last weekend. Our goals were to network with organizations and learn what they were doing across the country using independent media, and talk with potential speakers for future fests. Well, we accomplished just that! We talked with Rep. Keith Ellison, David Sirota, author of "The Uprising", past fest speakers Amy Goodman and Laura Flanders, AND got a big boost from a pillar in journalism, Bill Moyers. "Fighting Bob...one of my favorite sites." We also got to see first hand how the O'Reilly Factor invites their guests, when the producer of the show, Porter Barry, ambushed Moyers. Check out what Karen Chin caught on video. Fighting Bob Fest works hard to bring you inspiring speakers to uplift the crowds and call us to action. But we don't get them that way!
