Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Report: Ray Rice Tape Sent to NFL Security Chief

HeadlineSep 26, 2014

The Associated Press has named the National Football League official who was sent a video back in April that showed Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice punching his then-fiancée in a casino elevator. An unnamed law enforcement official said the tape was sent to NFL security chief Jeffrey Miller, and that he received a voicemail confirming its receipt. Miller, however, claims he never received the tape. The NFL has repeatedly said it did not see the video until it was released publicly by TMZ this month, at which point Rice was indefinitely suspended. Meanwhile, ESPN writer Bill Simmons has been suspended for three weeks after accusing NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell of lying about his knowledge of what was on the tape.
