If NPR wanted to establish that they’re not liberals, they probably wouldn’t send out radical left-wing ranters like Bill Moyers on their behalf. At Salon.com and at The Huffington Post, Moyers (and Michael Winship) drag out all the rhetoric about how conservatives are unloading another “fierce and often unscrupulous” attack, seeking “to extinguish the independent reporting and analysis they find so threatening to their phobic worldview.”
Just as public radio struggles against yet another assault from its long-time nemesis -- the right-wing machine that would thrill if our sole sources of information were Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and ads paid for by the Koch Brothers -- it walks into a trap perpetrated by one of the sleaziest operatives ever to climb out of a sewer.
Which part of this paragraph is sillier? Moyers ranting about the Koch brothers donating to Tea Party groups, when his Schumann Center is a sugar daddy for leftish media outlets? Or Moyers suggesting that defunding NPR would somehow silence the entire liberal media, as if every other national media outlet were just “independent reporters” too. But that’s just the way Moyers writes, like a direct-mail fundraiser, where the world’s end is just around the corner:
But for all its flaws, consider an America without public media. Consider a society where the distortions and dissembling would go unchallenged, where fact-based reporting is eliminated, and where the field is abandoned to the likes of James O'Keefe, whose "journalism" relies on lying and deceit.

Is he still alive?
The Lefties sure do have a Koch fetish!
And living very comfortably on the proceeds from the sales of the documentaries that were filmed using taxpayer dollars.
Moyer is just a DNC stooge.
Not to mention Moyers got rich at PBS.
The Koch brothers are the Soros equivalent. The left is desperately trying to distract attention from the sinister Soros
But for all its flaws, consider an America without public media
I have, and it’s beautiful, Billy Boy. Just sorry I don’t get a refund for all the tax dollars wasted on jackasses like you.
I don’t care if NPR survives but they need to do it on their own dime and not mine, Rush Limbaugh and Fox news pay their own way and so should NPR.
In the moldy mold of Dan Rather, Moyers is another sleazy Leftist graduate of the malignant Journalism Dept. at the University of Texas. All sensible Texans apologize for inflicting these radicals on the nation, but hopefully, their days are numbered.
Bill Moyers Tries to keep his job by Slashing Fox News and the ‘Right-Wing Machine
” is he still alive”
As one of the last surviving mega traitors of the LBJ administration , I hope he lives long enough to swing upside down from a lamp post on behalf of them all.
How are a couple of honest, America loving business guys the equivalent to a Nazi sympathizer who's main endeavor is to collapse economies for personal enrichment. There is none. The equivalency of the two is Commie Pinko spin to smear these men.
Yes, and apparently he’s still drinking.
Brilliant strategy. I'm surprised somebody didn't think of it before.
Sorry, LBJ’s.
Sorry, LBJ’s.
The libs used to claim that American society was the moral equivalent to Soviet communist Russia.
Clearly, Soros is funding a large part of the left and they’re trying to divert attention. Beck has done good work on this issue but I think his days at Fox are numbered.
