Moyers is Back!
From Democracy Now!
Legendary Broadcaster Bill Moyers Returns to Airwaves With Critical Look
at How U.S. News Media Helped Bush Admin Sell the Case for War
Legendary broadcaster Bill Moyers is returning to the airwaves of PBS
tonight to launch his new series Bill Moyers Journal. The debut episode is
titled ‘Buying the War.’ Moyers makes the case that the press has yet to
come to terms with its role in enabling the Bush Administration to go to war
on false pretenses. Two and a half years ago Moyers retired after a 30-year
career where he became one of the most recognizable faces on public
television. Moyers joins us to play excerpts of ‘Buying the War’ and talk
about the media, the late journalist David Halberstam, corporate
consolidation of the airwaves, and the hope he sees from the grassroots.
