Must Hear Interview with Bill Moyers about his Wednesday come-back Documentary
(This sounds like it's going to be a "Must See," but for a preview, this radio is a good one)

Bill Moyers, Back on the Beat


Listen to this story...(at link below)

Fresh Air from WHYY, April 23, 2007 · Journalist Bill Moyers returns to PBS April 27
with Bill Moyers Journal; the first episode "Buying the War," a 90-minute examination
of the role of the press in the run-up to the Iraq War.

Moyers talks to Terry Gross about the journalists he interviewed for the special,
about the startling inside-the-newsroom deliberations he learned about, and about
the psychology that encouraged most of the Washington press corps to buy into the
Bush administration's arguments for war.

He also discusses a controversial study, commissioned by the former head of the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting, designed to assess whether Now with Bill Moyers
exhibited a liberal bias.

1. Thanks for the reminder Up2Late
It would truly be exciting as well, if Moyers came out with a special covering American Journalism's behavior in the years prior to the coup of 2000. I believe they were the primary enablers putting Bush in to power to begin with and many of them would go on to cheer lead us to a war with Iraq based on lies. It's all part of the same animal.

Kicked and recommended
