He's talking about the Right-wing takeover he witnessed while doing Now on PBS..
My favorite line so far, when he was talking about the way the critics are slandering him....
"They might just make me decide to get out of the Rocking Chair and back to the Anchor chair!"
It was met with THUNDEROUS Applause!

6. I'm watching,...I'm crying. |

I am grateful there are at least a few citizens who still give a damn about something other than money,...who are driven by something other than greed and power!!!
I am grateful there are still citizens who bring substance to, make reality, those common values of freedom and integrity and honesty and patriotism to the ideals for which we are supposed to stand.

It's all pretty clear to me now. Moyers understands, respects, and cherishes FREEDOM.

35. Did I read somewhere Moyers is Southern Baptist?? |
|
If so, this is a powerful statement from a Christian that needs to be heard and seen by the radical right out there. Can someone confirm this?

42. He grew up in Harrison County, Texas, during the '40s and '50s, |
|
amidst one of the highest concentrations of black people in the US. East Texas during this time was overwhelmingly Southern Baptist and racist. The fact that he saw through this received culture and came to his conclusions is a minor miracle in itself.

If you watched the series he hosted with Joseph Campbell you would know quite a lot about his religious background. It will be interesting if PBS continues to use this series during their fund raising periods. It has been rebroadcast many times, and I always try to watch each segment. Maybe I better order the videos in case it gets blacklisted by Tomlinson.
