O'Reilly's good buddy (sarcasm), Bill Moyers has made a hobby out of denigrating FOX News. At the the opening of the National Conference on Media Reform in Memphis, January 2007:

Moyers:"As ownership gets more and more concentrated, fewer and fewer independent sources of information have survived in the marketplace; and those few significant alternatives that do survive, such as PBS and NPR, are under growing financial and political pressure to reduce critical news content and to shift their focus in a mainstream direction, which means being more attentive to establishment views than to the bleak realities of powerlessness that shape the lives of ordinary people."

Moyers: "The FOX News, the talk radio, The Weekly Standard have not only mongered for war along with the administration, not only embraced the administration's policies because they were "conservative", including going to war, but also mounted a slime machine to discredit any journalist who dared to stand against the official view of reality."

LOL! Ask Moyers about how he supported LBJ and his war, until it became unpopular, and he bailed.

There’s something funny about Lyndon Johnson’s accomplice criticizing anyone for anything.

Moyers is what he is. A miserable worm. The left hates debate, and hates America. They would say that is not the case but their words betray them over and over again. They rush to kiss the feet of dictators while spitting on the graves of heroes. Their voices in a just world would be found only in the shadows. Their ideas are heinous and their goals for America traitorous.

A LBJ man has no place to speak. Especially when he’s a lunatic.

Talk radio has embraced the admin’s policies because they are conservative? Again with the template they are mouthpieces for the admin. When he has done something conservative, he got support. Somestimes he got support anyway just because a war is on, but this admin isn’t conservative and that template needs to die by the mass media.

I would defend Murdoch and FOX, but after their liberal tilt and shilling for amnesty...let them defend themselves.

Well, Mr. Moyers. It could be worse: You could be forced to fund Fox News out of your taxes.

For example, I have to fund PBS and NPR out of my taxes, even though I rarely agree with the socialist slant they put on everything they report (or don't report.) This should not be, and should never have been. How should we fix this? Should we require that socialists, such as yourself, pay taxes to support Conservative talk radio for the next 50 years, in order to make up for past discrimination? Isn't that exactly the sort of policies you have supported in other domains, such as school choice?

An LBJ coatholder disses one of the most successful businessmen in history.

Who’s the smaller player in that exchange?

“...PBS and NPR, are under growing financial and political pressure to reduce critical news content and to shift their focus in a mainstream direction....”

Which is to say, “to tell the truth for a change.” What a burden - to appeal to an audience that prefers truth to Leftist fiction and fantasy.

.

The Left used WATERGATE’s weakening of an American Presidency’s capacity to wage war for Freedom during the Vietnam War...

...to cut off all our funding for the Free South Vietnamese to fight for their own Freedom with.

This at the very time KGB Files now reveal to us that the Communist Soviet Union had given $6 Billion in Miliary Aid (600 Soviet tanks and 1,000’s of mobile artillery pieces) to Communist North Vietnam for its ‘Final Solution’ in the South. Which took only 55 days to complete as a result.

Giving us all to sadly see in the End:

NEVER FORGET that it could all happen again...

...right here at home,

...in a new time of war
...in a new century.

And the Left knows it.

I'd vote for Moyers to interview you on PBS. I'd even violate my long standing rule not to tune to them.

Your tag line is stunningly good....

What’s Moyers whining about now? He’s had his own personal network (PBS) for decades.
