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.
Shoot, that's easy..... they are right and we are wrong.
Well, look at it this way: if it weren't for Moyers, the alternative media would probably have been decades behind where it is currently.
Moyers should absolutely be hung by the balls for what he did with that masty smear campaign against Barry Goldwater. I think it takes a lot of balls for an arrogant stuffed shirt like Moyers, who is arguably the pioneer of the politics of personal destruction, to then even dare to condemn the modern scene as nasty and uncivil.
In a way, the new media is our way of getting even with blue-blood, elitist snobs like Moyers. They thought nothing of slandering our parents, our grandparents, our home towns, our states, and our churches for the last three decades. They have barely had a decade of counter-argument and are already declining at a record pace. This is truly a testament to the intellectual impotence that now dominates the far left.
I will sorely miss having Moyers as a front-and-center poster boy for the far left. He was probably the single best reason to argue for defunding PBS that ever walked upon the earth.
interesting--these dems always project what they do onto others.

His true colors are finally revealed. What a surprise! (sarcasm off). Bill the public saw what you were a long time ago. What a sore lefty loser!
Left-wing media types complaining about right-wing media is a bit like the Nazis complaining about Italian excesses in Ethopia during WWII.
I don't care what story he's telling as he's "going out," as long as he's gone.
Now, just to be fair I personally know that the the hairdresser at PBS is a Log Cabin Republican.
Who is Bill Moyers? ;)
LBJ would be a conservative Democrat by today's standards.
LOL Yes, it's the station that rails against the evil capitalism that sustains it. Very Worm Ourbouros concept.
Accuse your opponents of doing what you are already doing.
He is in my prayers.
A mime is a terrible thing to waste.
"We have an ideological press that's interested in the election of Republicans"
Oh really? CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN et al had a religious conversion? When?
Wouldn't call Mort a left-winger.

Moyers is a Buffoon.

Good point.
I've deleted him from my "saved" (for next posting) file.
