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," . . .

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

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.
