Moyers, Bill, Host, PBS, Now With Bill Moyers

Mr. Moyers discussed his book, Moyers on America: A Journalist and His Times, published by New Press. The author also read from his book and discussed a variety of topics, including Thomas Jefferson, media bias, the wars in Iraq and Vietnam, and his decision to wear an American flag pin while on the air. After his prepared remarks he responded to questions from members of the audience.

1. I already saw the speeches. This is a great statement as to what

America stands for.
Talking about his break in journalism: when white women in Texas refused to pay SS taxes for the maids...
These women could only see their own self interest.

7. I was about to post the same thing. Thanks for alerting the board.

2. God. By being glued to DU and the campaign I CANNOT READ ALL I WANT!

4. I'm reading it now

Excellent book!

[LittleApple81]

3. To view a war as sport IS OBSCENE!!!! He is so great!!!! I want to cry.

Vietnam did not make me a dove. It made me read the constitution!

5. Okay got the second VCR going

Sounds like this is definitely something I want to hear. Meanwhile ThisIsHell is also very good where they are right now talking about logging and the environment.

6. How old you would be if you didn't know how old you was? A famous

black baseball player that had to play in the Negro league when newspaper people asked about his age. (sorry, I know NOTHING about baseball or famous players so I don't remember the name).
Moyers is talking about age now...

[Individualist]

8. Discussing journalism and democracy now

n/t

[LittleApple81]

9. Discussing government secrecy and media concentration as the

two factors influencing the decay of journalism.

[LittleApple81]

10. Nattering know nothings of talk radio!!!! echo chamber of RW ideology.

Promote RW ideas and come after anybody that dares offer a conflicting opinion.
FAIRNESS doctrine: REAGAN said TV was a toaster? I didn't know that.

110 hours of RW talk radio versus 10 hours of liberal talk radio.

YOU NEVER GET EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY IN RW IDEOLOGICAL QUASI OFFICIAL PUBLICITY AND PROPAGANDA ORGANIZATIONS.

11. Moyers says the Internet is our salvation....

Watch them go after the Internet now.

13. widespread broadband will be our salvation

dialup requires that you spread info by reading. Not enough people will read long enough to get all the info we need to give them.

We need widespread broadband so that audiovisual info can be disseminated via peer to peer networks.

[LittleApple81]

12. MONEY equals FREE SPEECH (Buckley vs. Vallejo)... I didn't

know about this case. The erosion has taken some time.

[AG78]

14. And then at 12pm

You've got Francis Fukuyama of PNAC and who knows what other think tanks in Washington. Compare and contrast Moyers and Fukuyama.

Good day on BookTV though. Later in the day, about 5pm I believe, a panel with Al Franken, RFK Jr, and a few others talking about various current issues.

Robert Byrd also at some point.

Good way to spend what's supposed to be a rainy day.
