Bill Moyers Is Bringing Me Down

I wish I could plug my ears and go, "Lalalalala, I can't hear you, Bill Moyers." But everything he has to say about Journalism Under Fire in Progressive News is heartbreakingly true.

I recently watched Moyer's NOW program on the Bush administration's (lack of) response to terrorism in the build-up and immediate follow-up to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. I am sorry that Moyer's courageous voice will soon be lost. He is retiring at the age of 70, and I guess PBS reporting will be left to Tucker Carlson, John McLaughlin and the News Hour. Sigh.
