Bill Moyers Retiring From TV Journalism

#1

"I was just in the editing room, working on the last piece," Bill
Moyers says. "I thought: `I've done this so many times, and each one
is as difficult as the last one.' Maybe finally I've broken the
habit."

It hasn't been so much a habit for Moyers as a truth-telling mission
during his three decades as a TV journalist. But come next week, he
will sign off from "Now," the weekly PBS newsmagazine he began in
2002, as, at age 70, he retires from television.

"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," says
Moyers. "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."

For that, his absence after the Dec. 17 "Now" will be all the more
keenly felt: Moyers' interest has always been the American people.

Typical republican response. Who pays for the bush boys into
perpituity? Your my way or the hiway attitude is so typical of your
kind of tyrant. I tire of your antics, jester.

Bush was elected. Moyer wasn't. Let's put his retirement a vote and
see who wants to pay.

Sounds like yet another PBS democrat who wallows in the sour grapes
of defeat.....while the majority of Americans don't care a thing
about him coming or going. Serves him right to be on the short end.
What comes around ALWAYS goes around.

Bush was elected.

Maybe, just maybe in 2004. He was selected in 2000. "It ain't over
until your brother counts the votes"

Moyer wasn't. Let's put his retirement a vote and
see who wants to pay.

Sorry, Bill worked for a living and deserves a pension for so many
years of enlightened service.

You wish a lot of things were the way you dream about---now that
includes even Tom. But if you weren't so wish-washy with your
presentation of all these liberal Internet reports and actually had
something meaningful to say about them instead of simply repeating
what the liberal fool wrote, you'd be able to hold a candle to what
Tom writes. So goes the agony of defeat.....

Nothing original here, just more of the same singer shit.
Come up with something new and interesting, like some facts, or go

Oh you missed the fact alright! You're having a hard time with all
this, and it's eating away at you. For that, I am thankful and
laughing so out loud that I have to go into the steam room so the
neighbors 1/2 mile away won't hear me!
