Awesome Bill Moyer's interview on The Daily Show w/Jon Stewart
If you have (or had) any doubts or about questions about whats going on with the House cutting funding for Public broadcasting, this is an interview not to miss.

It's just amazing that a Comedy show could do an interview that is SO much better that most of the actual News program are doing these days.

The rest of the show was funny too:

Jon commented on the Dick Durbin apology.

RWer Rep. Hostetler (Indiana) House rant about Democrats are Persecuting Christians

And Samantha Bee did a funny piece about Bullying in schools.

Replay at 1:00am EDT Comedy Central

Jon had me laughing when he was talking about "the long war on Christianity" that hostetler was whining about..saying that if only there could be a Christian President or maybe 43 consecutive ones in the USA!?

I hadn't known that David Obey of Wisconsin had gotten up to voice outrage at hostetler's demagoguery.

And Moyers was so Grreat. I hope he comes back to "haunt pbs while he's still alive"!

If I remember, Stewart had said "Don't go there."

8. They replayed the video and then Jon said something like...
..."shackled to the floor and made him crap on himself, that was like the Nazis on a GOOD Day, It was like 'Hooray, It's Shackles Day!'"

11. Jon's point is well taken. The Nazi comparisons are bogus.
The Nazi's were so much more serious. Although, tell that to the dead Iraqis. Jon made his point very clear. You can't get worse than what the Nazi's did. I think being a Jew, his friends and relatives must have told stories that were benchmarks in agony.

16. Thank you Mark!
That is terrific! It is astonishing that with TDS's fake news, we see the real news. Good journalism and he's not even trying that hard. Moyers is a genius and I hope he does come back to haunt them...

More American patriots at work.

15. Moyers is amazing
He explains everything so clearly and gets straight to the point.

Unfortunately I didn't see much of NOW. I regret that now.
