Bill Moyers Retiring From TV Journalism

One thing to Mr. Moyers - your side lost the election. Deal with it.

This has got to be one of the most biased pieces of *journalism* that I've read in some time now.
"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."
This idiot actually believes there's a right wing media. What channel have you been watching? An ideological press interested in electing Republicans?? You obviously didn't watch the election coverage, and the complete fawning over the Senator and the Breck Girl. You are right, however, when you say that the press has no interest in the American people. They are apparently too willing to be the accomplices, not of the RNC, but of the Democrats.

And this stands for unbiased journalism?
"One example of typically good journalism on "Now" not long ago: an in-depth look at the record of President Bush's nominee for secretary of state, Condoleeza Rice, who in her current post as national security adviser "dreadfully misjudged the terrorist threat leading up to 9/11, and then misled America and the world about the case for invading Iraq," as Moyers concluded."
Yes, Condi is just a stupid black chick, toeing the line for the President. Must be nice to be a liberal, and to be able to be a racist with no one in the right wing media calling you out on it.
"What they're really objecting to is not my ideology," he says in his thoughtful, almost pastoral manner. "I'd be doing this if the Democrats were in power. It's not that I'm a liberal, it really isn't. It's the fact that I'm doing journalism that isn't determined by the establishment."
Um, wrong. I'm doing this because of your bullshit ideology. Maybe if your *spit* journalism *spit* wasn't tarnished by your liberal ideology, you wouldn't be the abject failure that you are.

And, let me see. Who would expect your *journalism* to be tainted considering that you worked as a special assistant to LBJ?
