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," . . .

The Republicans are heartless greedy money grubbers, but liberals always somehow just get rich by accident.
Everything's bigger in Texas including the idiots.
When are we ever going to stop funding this commie institution with OUR MONEY?
The last time it was even discussed, you would think they were talking about doing away with Social Security.
Where is COURAGE in the Congress of the United States of America?
Campbell has been dead for a number of years now. I never got the feeling that he was anti-christian. He was more inclined towards Eastern mysticism, reincarnation and the like.
It's too bad that he was interviewed by an ass like Moyers though.
If you need any additional proof of the complete insanity of the presentation of this whacko as an objective journalist check out this quote. They are all delusional! Buh-Bye Bill.
"It hasnt been so much a habit for Moyers as a truth-telling mission during his three decades as a TV journalist."
Wow! The guy in the jumpsuit looks a lot like Tailgunner Joe!
Good riddance to Moyers and the other departing annoyers.

Too funny! Buh bye, Bill Moyers.
And take that stinkin' son with you!
Don't forget Jim Hightower.
No wonder their ratings are tanking quicker than the Titanic! LOL
One of the insiders who milked PBS and us taxpayers for years. His programs were pure swill.
One example of typically good journalism on "Now" not long ago: an in-depth look at the record of President Bush's nominee for secretary of state, Condoleeza Rice, who in her current post as national security adviser "dreadfully misjudged the terrorist threat leading up to 9/11, and then misled America and the world about the case for invading Iraq," as Moyers concluded.
"What they're really objecting to is not my ideology," he says in his thoughtful, almost pastoral manner. "I'd be doing this if the Democrats were in power. It's not that I'm a liberal, it really isn't."
(In my best Dr. Evil voice:) Rrrriiiiight
How do they say this crapola with a straight face?
When did Moyers become a "journalist"?
Like-boy I would have not known the difference whether he retires, lives or dies.
I guess AP hired Moyers' personal PR firm to do this "impartial" report, huh?
Whole lotta asskissin' goin' on 'round heah...!!!
And, the guy on the extreme left is a ringer for the sherrif that escorted Lee Harvey Oswald when Jack Ruby shot him, and the guy on the right looks like a morphed version of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.
Nah, it's the same reason sharks don't eat lawyers: professional courtesy.
