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," . . .

Moyers may be a cretin but I believe that thanks to some sweetheart deals with PBS, he is now a very rich cretin. It's past time to pull the plug on PBS.

I am truly heartboken and deeply saddened that a pillar of fair and unafraid journalism will be leaving, he will be profoundly missed.........NOT!!!

Bill Moyers is a joke, reading straight from DNC daily talking points. And he hates America.

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

Sure seems like it. I like to tell them that the 4 more years doesn't begin until January 20, 2005. Been saying that since the election. Drives the 'rats even nuttier...

"Bill Moyers signing off from `Now' and TV journalism after three decades"

I get the message, even though I would question whether or not Bill Moyers has ever been a part of TV "journalism".

However, in any event,

HOSANNAH! LOUD HOSANNAH!

Good bye you partizen SOB.

4 mentions of "I" in 3 sentences.....always reporting from his own perspective & value set.....so long Dickweed.

Another multi-cultural socialist bites the dust! But surely another one will take his place. I stated a few days ago in another thread that an anti-christian, multi-cultural program would run on PBS at least once a month that was 4hrs in length, and it tried to discredit the Bible, and consistently praised other religions. The goons name is Joseph Campbell, and he has been rebutted by another philosopher. Here is a great site:
