They had him on the show back in 2002, when he was the only Republican member of Congress opposing the war, and Amy loved him. As far as I know, I'm not even sure they have mentioned his name. Is it because of his stance on abortion? I really don't get it. I'm going to start contacting the program regularly hoping that some respect could be shown in the near future.

Probably because they're partisan and his record shames their candidates. I dunno, some people say that Chomsky and Goodman are gatekeepers but that's getting into black helicopter territory.

Yea Amy is partisan NOT ideological. She supported Mugabe after he decided to become a dictator.

Observe this chart and note where Democracy Now!, The Nation, Pacifica Radio, etc. get their major funding.

Great!!! This tells it all. You would probably be shocked at who funds CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc.

Yup, it is just a gatekeeping outlet. No shock that they are ignoring the good doctor.

I still respect Chomsky for educating people on the media and US foreign policy. I don't agree with his views on the economy, and he is very long on talk and his actions are almost non-existent and he tends to hide behind the title of anarchist.
