It turns out that 
https://www.democracynow.org/2023/2/20/biden_kyiv_visit_russia_ukraine_war contains 
the one sentence that is DN's entire coverage of Sunday's "Rage Against the War 
Machine" anti-war demonstration.

This coverage is so short, Aaron Maté (who is covering for Jimmy Dore this week) just 
played the entirety of DN's coverage. Here is what Amy Goodman said:

> candidate Jill Stein and others spoke.

That's it. One sentence. Less than 10 seconds to read aloud. It's hard to conclude 
that Amy Goodman is different than the pro-establishment programs that DN competes 
with (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NPR, NBC, PBS, New York Times, Washington Post, etc.).

This was followed by:

1) an interview/debate with pro-war Matt Duss (as Aaron Maté has covered and debunked 
before on The Jimmy Dore Show) and,

2) Medea Benjamin of Code Pink for Peace who did not go to the anti-war demonstration 
over some disagreement with one or more of the speakers at that rally. There's a 
further explanation (naming & shaming) those who call themselves anti-war but didn't 
go in tonight's Jimmy Dore Show, segments will appear on Rumble.com tomorrow. 
Benjamin called out a lie Duss tried to pass on in this interview but the three did 
not get into why Benjamin wasn't at that rally.
