Bill Moyers on Rachel discussing Murdoch

[malaise]

I love this man

[malaise]

1. Great questions from Rachel

This interview should be viral in minutes

[valerief]

2. She was getting a little defensive about her show when he brought up

self-censorship, but I'm glad he did. BTW, I love Rachel, so it's no slam on her, just an observation.

[malaise]

4. Yep

She'll learn.
I loved his reminder that Murdoch's scandal hit him at the Allen conference in Sun Valley. The list of who was there is interesting.

7. Was that the ALEC conference, malaise?

Check the guest list!

10. A clusterfuck of fancy pants! nt

[malaise]

13. And a huge one in Chris Christie

Bloomberg. I'd have loved to see Murdoch's face as he ran from reporters the way he made others run

[valerief]

16. I was surprised to see Salma Hayak's name on the list. nt

[malaise]

17. Oprah surprised me n/t

[valerief]

19. Not me. She's a big money mover and shaker. nt

[pacalo]

18. So many damn acronymed names for the "let them eat cake" crowd -- can't keep up!

:hi:

[Cleita]

3. Great interview of a great journalist.

Today Bill Moyer has no peer. The plastic models that are TV journalists today are empty suits when compared to his accomplishments and achievements.

[Monique1]

5. I miss him

[malaise]

6. Big time

I loved his Journal

Also, though perhaps not as "serious" a topic, I absolutely loved his series of conversations with Joseph Campbell on mythology.

15. I blame him for getting Campbell's writings

:hi:
