this is the game plan—to depict the Republicans as being in bed with corrupt business practices, in order to discredit them and bring the Democrats back into power. That means more Halliburton-type coverage designed to convince the public that the Bush administration has sold out to the big corporations.

And here I thought the Dems would offer a challenge the next four years! Halliburton? ROFL!

"Moyers declared that, 'I think the next four years are going to be a bonanza for investigative journalism.'"

You betcha Bill. Please start your investigations in Baltimore's School System followed by the Teachers' Union's use of member funds. If you do, they'll respect you in the morning.

Maybe someone should investigate how moyers got such a sweet heart deal from PBS, naw never happen, he is a liberal icon, Daisy Daisy, on a nuke built for two. Remember every time you see Marlo Thomas begging for funds for St. Judes you are enriching Bill Moyers, just as every time you bought Heinz Ketchup you enriched the tides foundation

Can anyone tell me how FOX News is conservative!? Sean is cool but FOX is now centrist just to get more ratings.

That's okay. FNC never claimed to be "conservative." Why anyone, left or right, ever thought that FNC just belonged to the right puzzles me.

[OldFriend]

FNC is more concerned with picking off CNN viewers than promoting the truth.

The internet will keep on telling the stories that need telling.

Bill Moyers - the voice of LBJ's Vietnam escalation. Hope he burns in hell with McNamara and crew. Hey, Bill...how about a little investigation into how many boys you sent to die?

Republicans should take a hard line on spending. President Bush needs to veto big spending bills.

I always love to note how liberal intellectuals like Moyers love to draw what they believe to be erudite historical parallels to current events and, in the process, demonstrate that they do not even know the facts of history, much less how to form a sound interpretation.

This is a Moyers quote from the linked article:

". . . During the late 1800s and early 1900s, said Moyers, 'the relationship between business and government created more corruption that actually renewed the Progressive Party and brought the Democrats to power. . . .'"

Well ok, the relationship between business and government did create significant corruption in the late 1800s and early 1900s. But what is this claim that this development "actually renewed the Progressive Party"? The Progressive Party was formed -- that means it was "born" -- in 1912 when Theodore Roosevelt lost his bid for the Republican nomination to William Howard Taft and organized a new political party out of disaffected members of Robert La Follette's National Progressive Republican League who were equally disappointed that La Follette had not done well either, though there were some health concerns involved there. In that election of 1912 the Democrats did come to power as Wilson won the presidency. What was there to "renew"?

President Bush was able to barely win re-election.

:::blink:::blink:::

A three and a half million-vote advantage is "barely?"

[Coldwater Creek]

I guess that Bill Moyers has forgotten that he is an ordained Southern Baptist minister. I believe that he has taken the Baptist belief (which is Biblical) that once saved always saved. I predict that lighting will strike him when he least expects it. What a hypocrite.

[Search4Truth]

Fear the pajamahadeen, all corrupters of truth.

Fox did go wobbly at the end, which is why I stopped watching them before the election.

[In veno, veritas]

Part of the deal is that I'll bet that a large portion of the people who watch 60 minutes don't have cable are not anything above basic. Fox News doesn't come over the air to rabbit ears.

[ALPAPilot]

Bill Moyers who? never heard of him

[processing please hold]

Shoot, ever since man sewed pockets on our clothing there has been theft.

[getitright]

suggestions? Jail time.
Dan Rather uses blatant fraud to influence a US election. Jail time.

My neighbor is a doctor at St. Jude. Whatever else Marlow Thomas maybe, the monies given to the hospital go way beyond the political side. What does Bill Moyers have to do with children sick with cancer?

[Ciexyz]

I canceled my cable TV two months back, mainly for the cost factor, but also because I was sick of seeing lying Dems all over cable TV. Now I'm doing quite well with talk radio (incl. Bill O'Reilly) and my local religious station, WORD-FM, and my local religious TV channel, WPCB-40, Pittsburgh PA.

[Coldwater Creek]

No one should have to bur in Hell, even ordained Southern Baptist ministers that have turned their back on everything that the church stands for. I pray that Bill Moyers will repent.
