"The biggest story of our time is how the right-wing media has become a partisan propaganda arm of the Republican National Committee ... and a mainstream press that's interested in the bottom line," Moyers declared. "Therefore," he added, "we don't have a vigilant, independent press whose interest is the American people."

He ought to know, having witnessed the dumbing down of broadcast journalism, the mixing of entertainment and news and the dominance of talk shows hosted by raucous conservative commentators posing as journalists.

Bill Moyers was the last liberal voice on national television. Now he's gone into retirement.

Moyers also bemoaned the fact that the public is getting "so little coverage of the stories that matter to our lives and our democracy: government secrecy, the environment, health care, the state of working America, the hollowing out of the middle class, what it means to be poor in America."

He accused the megamedia conglomerates of taking over journalism. Working journalists "feel squeezed," he said.
