Conservatives' main objection is that Moyers delivers liberal commentary on PBS - publicly funded television. "Even if he's marshaling facts," says Media Research's Tim Graham, "he's marshaling facts at the service of his agenda ... and he's got this enormous tax-payer-funded megaphone."

Just because Moyers said it does not make it right

Some interviews are sixteen minutes, some even stretch to twenty? The horror!

Really makes me miss Firing Line, where most interviews were an hour and an occasional one (Malcolm Muggeridge, I seem to recall) went two. Yet absolutely riveting.

I seem to remember Mortimer Adler getting a little testy with Moyers' slow wits at times, but never, of course, with Buckley. And Adler was testy, generally.

Moyers feels the pressure of challenging the official line in a politically charged post-9/11 atmosphere. "It's a time when exercising your normal civil liberties brings an abnormal and excessive response to them," Moyers says.

I'm indebted to Moyers for eductaing me on the scope of my "civil liberties." Now, I want my own taxpayer-funded PBS show, to air all of my opinions, even the stupid ones. When do I start?
