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

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.

The Republicans are heartless greedy money grubbers, but liberals always somehow just get rich by accident.

Why did you have to remind me that these idiots are Texans?

Everything's bigger in Texas including the idiots.

[trickyricky]

pull his lips from the public tit at PBS....

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.

Ya gotta be friggin' kiddin' me???????????????

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 hasn’t been so much a habit for Moyers as a truth-telling mission during his three decades as a TV journalist."

[Bonaparte]

Wow! The guy in the jumpsuit looks a lot like Tailgunner Joe!

[MinuteGal]

What a nice early Christmas gift!

Good riddance to Moyers and the other departing annoyers.

Excellent link, blakep.

You are God, but not in your ego, but in your deepest being, where you are at one with the non-dual transcendent. -- Jospeh Campbell

This one statement says it all about Campbell. Seems I heard something about a serpent saying, "You shall be as gods."

"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,"

Too funny! Buh bye, Bill Moyers.

[Ann Archy]

And take that stinkin' son with you!

[SerpentDove]

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

[Reagan is King]

"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," . . .

How do they say this crapola with a straight face?

[rcocean]

When did Moyers become a "journalist"?

[Jim-FREEportPA]

Like-boy I would have not known the difference whether he retires, lives or dies.

[okie01]

Whew!

I guess AP hired Moyers' personal PR firm to do this "impartial" report, huh?

Whole lotta asskissin' goin' on 'round heah...!!!

[Pharmboy]

You are RIGHT!

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.
