She created THE WHISTLEBLOWER NEWSROOM show as a platform for and about whistleblowers, for conveying inconvenient truths and for presenting thought-provoking voices on urgent issues—national and international--to her audience.

BUZZSAWED: JOURNALIST PATRICK LAWRENCE: As a correspondent for Salon, Lawrence was first to write a prescient piece calling Russiagate a fraud. Then, for The Nation, he reported on a Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity [VIPS] team’s forensic case against the prevailing narrative that the DNC server was hacked by the Russians. This, Lawrence says, triggered the buzzsaw--a furious backlash to discredit him in the mainstream press and on social media, where he endured a “severe and prolonged” attack. Lawrence's account is followed by a frank, personal discussion among Celia, Kristina and Patrick about the buzzsaw experience.
