NEW YORK -- "I was just in the editing room, working on the last piece," Bill Moyers says. "I thought: `I've done this so many times, and each one is as difficult as the last one.' Maybe finally I've broken the habit."

It hasn't been so much a habit for Moyers as a truth-telling mission during his three decades as a TV journalist. But come next week, he will sign off from "Now," the weekly PBS newsmagazine he began in 2002, as, at age 70, he retires from television.

"I'm going out telling the story that I think is the biggest story of our time: how the right-wing media has become a partisan propaganda arm of the Republican National Committee," . . .

This is as truthful as any lie he's ever told.

GOOD RIDDANCE!

LOL! Truth telling?

[Polyxene]

Double-Dog-Ditto!!

[dwilli]

Doesn't he have a son that's got his hand in the same PBS cookie jar?

Brokaw retired..... Rather a lame duck..... Moyers leaving. It's been a great fall! When will Jennings make his announcement?

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Buh- Bye. Does anyone have his e-mail address. I think I may want to send some "parting thoughts"...

"I'm going out telling the story that I think is the biggest story of our time: how the right-wing media has become a partisan propaganda arm of the Republican National Committee,"

ROTFLMPJO

Only the true believers will buy this one, it's just plain silly.

[E=MC²]

Goodbye and good riddance...whatever it takes to get these old pinkos out of media.

[RKV]

I'm going out telling the story that I think is the biggest story of our time: how the right-wing media has become a partisan propaganda arm of the Republican National Committee," I guess it was before your time Bill, when ABCCBSCNNNBCLATNYTWP became the propaganda arm of the DemonRAT party and of the Socialist party.

LIBs can't take another 4 MORE YEARS of BUSH!

Bill Moyers is a cretin. I have never seen it so clearly documented as it was in "It Didn't Start with Watergate".

[Semper Paratus]

Two of the most annoying Texas liberals heading south:

Dan Rather and Bill Moyers.

[SoDak]

Exactly what I thought the moment I read the headline

[expatpat]

......as a truth-telling mission

Don't make me laugh!

Doesn't he have a son that's got his hand in the same PBS cookie jar?

Technically, no.

Daddy considerately launders his tax-payer funded fortune through some “foundations” before funnelling the money to his otherwise unemployable son.

The kid should be flipping burgers for a living, but the grant money his daddy gives him allows him to run TomPaine.com and pay himself a considerable salary.

[Soul Seeker]

And another falls! Woohoo!!

Maybe we should take bets on the next Leftist mouthpiece that will announce retirement.

[Cogadh na Sith]

I've always hated that f'in guy.
