But Rupert Murdoch is no saint; he is to propriety what the Marquis de Sade was to chastity. When it comes to money and power he's carnivorous: all appetite and no taste. He'll eat anything in his path. Politicians become little clay pigeons to be picked off with flattering headlines, generous air time, a book contract or the old-fashioned black jack that never misses: campaign cash. He hires lobbyists the way Imelda Marcos bought shoes, and stacks them in his cavernous closet, along with his conscience; this is the man, remember, who famously kowtowed to the Communist overlords of China, oppressors of their own people, to protect his investments there.

The ambitious can't resist his blandishments, Nor his power to get or keep them in office where they can return his favors.

Comrade Bill Moyers's shady finances revealed on O'Reilly Factor

UNDUE INFLUENCE The Moyers Mafia

Bill Moyers, Scaife of the Left?

[elizabetty]

Liberals are children.

[NurdlyPeon]

I love it. The libs are just losing it, and losing it, and losing it. Hopefully, the public is listening.

[Loyal Buckeye]

Moyers = small man

[BipolarBob]

What is PBSs share of ratings vs. Foxs? The Green Eyed Monster called envy has him by the family jewels and control of his tongue.

Hey, Bill, how is this different from your heroes, the Klintons, or Mr. Fonda, of CNN?

[metesky]

Murdoch himself said the greatest thing to come out of the war would be "$20 a barrel for oil."

While Moyers himself probably thinks $70 a barrel too low by half.

What a hole. Not that I have any love for Murdoch, either.

“PBS’s Moyers Disgracefully Rips Fox Owner Rupert Murdoch”

of course...this lib/dem anti-american is being funded with taxpayer funds!!!!

[Fiji Hill]

In this attack ad from 1964, produced by Bill Moyers
and aimed at Barry Goldwater, the little girl picking at a
daisy is about to be blown up by an atomic bomb.

[dangerfield]

“one of the most disgraceful exhibitions of liberal bias so far this year.”

bias? this is a polemic, not under any guise of news reporting.

[SKI NOW]

"Politicians become little clay pigeons to be picked off with flattering headlines, generous air time, a book contract or the old-fashioned black jack that never misses: campaign cash."

Next week on PBS our tribute to Camelot.

[ClearCase_guy]

“Ahh, but the strawberries! That’s where I had them! I was able to prove by geometric logic that there had to be a second key to the storage room. And Rupert Murdoch had it.”

[ontap]

We must bare in mind that more people heard about this story by reading it in FR than saw it on PBS. Bill Moyers is to put it bluntly “IRRELEVENT” , as are most of what passes for news on this silly liberal propaganda network. That needs to go the way of Air America.

[windsorknot]

Bill Moyers is the quintessential drama queen with a flair for the melodramatic.

[KarlInOhio]

his takeover of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, now owned by the Bancroft family, which, like Adam and Eve, the parents of us all, are tempted to sell their birthright for a wormy apple.

BS about the Bancroft family owning it. They control about 60% of the voting shares but only own 20% of Dow Jones. Any company in which ownership and control are separated are at extreme risk of being the personal playthings of the controlling party at the expense of the owners. Just look at the NY Times for the prime example.

[frankenMonkey]

"...October 1964, Moyers became the President's informal chief of staff until 1966. From July 1965 to February 1967, he also served as White House Press Secretary..." (from Wikipedia>

So tell us, Saint Bill, how may American lives were lost in Vietnam because of your work?

[dead]

But the problem isn't just Rupert Murdoch. His pursuit of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL is the latest in a cascading series of mergers, buy-outs, and other financial legerdemain that are making a shipwreck of journalism. Public minded newspapers are being dumped by their owners for wads of cash or crippled by cost cutting while their broadcasting cousins race to the bottom.

Moyer's heading straight for the cliff of government control of the media (leftist government control, of course) but pulls back on the reins at the last minute.

The public isn't sufficiently brainwashed, yet, to embrace his utopian vision. Just another decade or so of leftist indoctrination and enough people will see the wisdom of letting people like Bill Moyers control the flow of information to the ignorant masses.

Free market types like Murdoch (who is no ideologue and is only a conservative when there's a buck to made in it, and I mean that as a compliment) push back the timeline every time they get to voice a fact or opinion unvetted by the likes of Moyers and his ilk.

[Bullish]

Bill Moyers on PBS is like a silent fart.
Nobody hears it, but it still stinks up the room.

[vigilence]

Let’s see....Moyers was Lyndon Johnson’s press secretary during the Vietnam War when one lie after another came out of that White House through his lips and he wants us to believe anything he has to say? Sorry, Bill. You have zero credibility with anyone who knows you and your history of lies and deception. This is just more of the same.

[ozzymandus]

I thought this loony old drunk retired once already. Why is he back on my payroll (PBS) drooling his demented, senile, leftism?
