"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."

Translation: "Wah! Wah! WAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Good riddance!!! Still haven't forgiven him for his despicable treatment of Goldwater!!

Let him try. He'll be end up going to liberal colleges where he'll get rounds of applause.

For the life of me I can not figure out WHY it's "ok" to be a part of....or to have Left Wing Media....yet it's NOT "ok" to be a part of, or to have Right Wing Media?


....seems just a tad hypocritical

What can we expect from a man who spent his career having smoke-blowing sit-downs with liberal academics? I've got a couple of collections of his interviews and many of them are great reading, and I have enjoyed some of his interviews over the years. But for someone who's such a suckup to his philosophical soulmates to be crabbing about how the media are merely political mouthpieces is laughable, pathetic, and typical of his kind: the blinkered leftist media tools.

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.

I think he probably didn't understand which one was Kerry and which one was Bush. Kerry was the tall, weird looking, socialist one.

And what are your thoughts on all of the rest, meaning the left wing media including your sorry ex-employer?

"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,"

He didn't have the nerve to report it before he retired....he didn't want to explain himself in interviews...etc. Liberals can not argue in the arena of ideas.

I understand we can email him with our best wishes at now@thirteen.org . What an appropriate email name.

A perfect illustration of advanced Dementia at play. For Moyer's, this article is a culmination of thirty years of such a mental illness.

I saw him interviewing some mouthpiece the other night and couldn't stand to watch the propoganda for more than about three minutes. He kept phrasing the questions as if certain blatant liberal distortions were acknowledged fact, and with that as a given would ask the guest "what do you think about such and such?".

Assume Moyers is correct that their is a "right wing branch of the media." What Moyers and the rest of the Alliance of the Arrogant miss is that their branch of the media is the left wing. So long as Moyers, Rather, et. al. continue to act superhuman, i.e. like they have no biases and, even if they did, they would never let those biases seep into their news coverage, they will be blowing in the wind.

"Hey Pot, your black," stateth the Kettle.

[Disambiguator]

Talk about projection! Just substitute "Democrat" for "Republican", "liberal" for "conservative", "left-wing" for "right-wing", and voila! The truth.

[capitan_refugio]

Kat - it's a matter of perspective. Relative to Moyers, there is very little to the left, and a whole lot to the right.

and a mainstream press that's interested in the bottom line.

I would bet that he is a millionaire.

Does he wish to pretend the press exists on dandelion thistle and moonbeams? Of course they look at the bottom line.

[MikeHu]

Now that he's gone/going, who will replace him as the most boring and self-righteous person on television?

[Jaysun]

Mr. ass, meet swinging door.

We don't care HOW you exit billy, just so long as you Exit!

I can honestly say I have hated that F'in guy since I was a kid.

Him and Hugh Downs: Holier than thou hand-wringing old grandmothers.
