Amy Goodman is back to hosting Democracy Now! after taking time off following a medical procedure to remove skin cells on her nose that tested positive for squamous cell cancer. “I think it’s important that … we don’t have to be picture-perfect on TV or video. We are not plastic. We are people, and people get by in all sorts of ways around the world,” says Goodman. She reminds listeners and viewers to check in with the dermatologist: “A spot, a bump on their skin, a mole or a blemish anywhere, or just a rough spot, something scaly, might be cancerous.”
