Taxpayer-supported Democrat operative Bill Moyers is showing his true colors (all blue) by tainting his exit from PBS with an attack on what he describes as "right-wing media."
"I'm going out telling the story that I think is the biggest story of our time: how the right-wing media has [sic] become a partisan propaganda arm of the Republican National Committee," the Associated Press today quoted Moyers as saying.
"We have an ideological press that's interested in the election of Republicans, and a mainstream press that's interested in the bottom line. Therefore, we don't have a vigilant, independent press whose interest is the American people," claimed Moyers, who next week is leaving his weekly series, "Now."
Moyers failed to mention that, unlike himself, the few conservative media that do exist aren't on the American taxpayers' dole.
He also failed to mention that for decades the left-wing media establishment, ranging from PBS and NPR to the New York Times and the CBS of Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather, has been and continues to be a partisan propaganda arm of the Democratic National Committee.
Perhaps the wire story is satire, but it describes the extraordinarily biased Moyers as "a citizen-journalist" who was on "a truth-telling mission during his three decades as a TV journalist."
The story does admit that "humanist" Moyers used to be a top aide to the very liberal President Lyndon Johnson.
Moyers' liberal rants have been increasing in recent years, perhaps owing to the increasing success of the Republican Party, which now controls the White House, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court and a majority of state legislatures and governorships.
This past Election Night, Moyers even went so far as to suggest that if Kerry won the election, the right wing might stage a coup to keep him from taking power.
If the right wing really was that powerful, Bill Moyers and Andy Rooney would have been sharing a padded cell years ago.
On second thought, forget the padding.
Apparently not or Fox wouldn't be eating their lunch. Fox isn't even especially conservative, just less suffocating on the Marxist propoganda. I think the Lame Stream sometimes values ideology over money, or else they're simply out of touch.
Yes, there was a time when I thought Bill Moyers was worth reading, watching, and listening to. Walter Cronkite, too.
Sixth grade was a LONG time ago.
Took you till SIXTH grade? ;-)
It's partly dementia and partly truth. The really important thing is he realizes the great power the alternative media have gained. He's giving us Freepers a backhanded compliment, especially for what we did to Dan Blather with Blather's faked Bush ANG documents and the way we and the other alternate media brought the Swiftvets front and center. Mucho kudos to us.
Now that he's gone/going, who will replace him as the most boring and self-righteous person on television?
Mr. ass, meet swinging door.
We don't care HOW you exit billy, just so long as you Exit!
Him and Hugh Downs: Holier than thou hand-wringing old grandmothers.
Viking to Moyers: Drop dead.
It's the Charlie Rose vs. Chris Matthews Steel Cage Death Match.
Whateevvvvvaa! I don't tune into PBS anyway.
paranoia - self-destroy ya
Bill Moyers...soon appearing at a drunk tank near you.
It's worse than that! I think you may misunderstand him. He is saying (I think) that the Left Wing Media IS right wing -- which just shows you how far left HE is! What planet has he been living on?
Another Socialist Dinasour bytes the dust squeeling all the way home. My Dad called these people sore heads. I call the sore losers.
Ops4 God BLess America!
