Bill Moyers goes on a tirade against Republicans and angry town hall protesters for not allowing Obama to nationalize health care.

Jim DeMint, R-S.C. suggested? Why not make it the president's Alamo? That's the advice PBS host Bill Moyers had for President Barack Obama in an appearance on HBO's August 28 "Real Time with Bill Maher." According to the former press secretary for President Lyndon B. Johnson, a defeat on health care/health insurance reform would do the left more good than crafting some sort of compromise. ..more (w/video)..

I'll save my commentary on the first half hour's interview with rap superstar Jay-Z for tomorrow. Today it's NewsReal Sunday and some of the comments from Maher's second guest, Baptist minister, Great Society architect, and "progressive" PBS journalist Bill Moyers need to be answered.

No, that’s not true. All they want him to do is “migrate.” They want God to “migrate” from TV to the Internet. I’m talking about PBS, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, whatever alphabet-soup taxpayer-supported agency it is that has made untold millions from “Sesame Street.” In its enlightened wisdom, it has outlawed God. More specifically, it has forbidden “sectarian” programming. If you are going to be a PBS station, you can’t have any religious broadcasting.

I listened to Bill Moyers describe the Bible as a book in which God commands the Jews to exterminate foreign peoples. He says, When the ancient Israelites entered Canaan, their leaders urged violence against its inhabitants. The very Moses who brought down the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill," now proclaimed, "You must destroy completely all the places where the nations have served their gods... and wipe out their name from that place." So, God-soaked violence became genetically coded. A radical strain of Islam...

And as a man who has access into virtually every home in the country - subsidized by government through taxes - Moyers is able to powerfully advance his moral idiocy and create others like himself as few others are able to do.

I'll acknowledge this. Tim Russert, the host of NBC's Meet the Press, has developed into a good journalist. But just a few years ago, it would be easy to say Russert's roots were showing and I'm not talking about hair color. You see, before suddenly becoming a journalist, Tim Russert worked as a political hack for the Democratic Party. Russert was a former counselor to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and New York Governor Mario Cuomo after that, before being hired by NBC in 1984. It's clear to anyone who watches Russert today he has come a long way....

If Pastor Wright agrees to be interviewed by other than Bill Moyers, the questions should ask not for his opinions on various controversies, but for facts about his relationship with the senator. For instance, did Pastor Wright discuss Louis Farrakhan with Obama before during or after they both attended the Million Man March? Were they together during that trip.

One of the main reasons I gave was that liberals already had their views expressed in the mainstream news media -- the major networks, PBS and NPR (National Public Radio), and just about every major city newspaper. Therefore, the need liberals have for liberal talk radio is nowhere near the need conservatives have for conservative talk radio.

They do it with a touch of plausible deniability, but they send a message nonetheless.If you are gay, and you are a Democrat, and there is a prostitution ring being...

Two days later, Rove was Chris Wallace's guest on "Fox News Sunday," and took issue with Moyers's comments: "Mr. Moyers ought to do a little bit better research before he does another drive-by slander." Moyers followed this up with a letter to Wallace posted at his blog Wednesday suggesting that Wallace didn't do his homework concerning Rove, and that Wallace shouldn't "take his every word as gospel."

The stacked hour had two guests, and both were aggressively pro-impeachment: John Nichols of The Nation magazine, author of the book "The Genius of Impeachment," and lawyer Bruce Fein, who Moyers labeled a "conservative," but he compared Bush to King George III, to Adolf Hitler, to the communist autocrats of the Gulag, and to, well,... http://newsbusters.org/ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1866389/posts#comment Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:48:00 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1859117/posts PBS’s Moyers Disgracefully Rips Fox Owner Rupert Murdoch Posted by Noel Sheppard on June 30, 2007 - 12:06.
