Bill Moyers says he fears for America for 'first time'

[spanone]

Legendary journalist Bill Moyers discusses the looming impeachment hearings with Brian Stelter. Moyers fears for the country "for the first time, because a society, a

democracy, can die of too many lies. And we're getting close to that terminal moment, unless we reverse the obsession with lies that are being fed around the country."

2. i like most of the stuff he's done but being oblivious to the huge effect of rw radio the last 30 yr

years makes him part of the 99% of political and media analysts who might as well be analyzing fish without water

most of them live andd work in cities and there's no way to read it or analyses of it so they blame it on fox, look at blockheads like carlson and hannity and just and have no clue how they could do it, thinking it must be ciclic or mass stupidity from outer space or symptoms like money in politics

the sad part is the solution is really easy - stop ignoring it, give 'limbaugh' the credit for being ringleader, start investigating putin's use of talk radio going back to at least 2008, and boycott all rw radio stations, digitize talk radio, and protest the universities and pro sports teams that broadcast sports on it.

it wouldn't take long for the ad industry to start having to ask radio clients if they REALLY want to advertise on stations that deny global warming and support trump, and the monopoly will fall apart. the lie machine will dissolve.

8. Thanks, but the link in your other post -- www.republiconradio.org --

goes to an apparently orphan domain: "Looks Like This Domain Isn't Connected To A Website Yet!"

Do you know if it just isn't up yet, or is lapsed, or is temporarily offline? Or do you have another source?

Americans take democracy for granted - that is a HUGE mistake.

4. Every bit as important as the lies, that by themselves do so much damage to this nation,

are the people who embrace these lies. They enable the liars.
And, I am sure that most of these people know they are being told lies, but don't care.
They want the lies to be true because it validates the positions they hold, and like the way all these lies cause fear, worry, and doubt in so many people.

6. I can't even talk about this with the young people in my life...they don't want to hear it they tell

me to get a life and they are thoroughly disinterested. I am alone with my concerns....not one other person I know is concerned at all about any of this.

and I saw a original post (I cannot find it at this time) last week exploring how much more and more progressive the younger generations get.

The Russiablican party is dying slowly but surely.

No complacency, though, and more so in the battleground states: GOTV.
