Bill Moyers on the crisis in Journalism

Here is a video of Bill Moyers speaking at the National Conference for Media Reform. It's an excellent speech, even if he does get a bit sentimental at times.
[a reminder, before the comments explode -- I'm out of town for another day so I will respond to comments but not just yet]



Enjoy veteran journalists hitting their stride,

We were at Sundance (not the film festival) up in Washington.

I had heard about that from T. when I first came back into town. I'm going to have to write about it. Seems pretty weird and shady how they dealt with it don't you think?

They're re-exploring it now because everyone who knew anything about it is dead? Because it's important? Why wasn't it studied further at the time?

Interesting stuff.

What is the address that ctheg left above? The full address is missing on my screen. thanks, va momma

the trick is to click with your mouse a couple times in the middle of the address and it automatically highlights the whole thing.

Also, I'll be writing it up pretty quickly here so it will show up soon.

Moyers is amazing. Now there's a guy I'd elect president. Of course, he'd never get nominated, because his brain and his ethics are not fo wale.
