Bill Moyers, Cleaning Up Washington

by: bobhiggins

Tue Jun 05, 2007 at 23:18:14 PM EDT


Born on this day in 1934


America's corporate and political elites now form a regime of their own, they're privatizing democracy. All the benefits, the tax cuts, policies and rewards flow in one direction: up.
Bill Moyers


I happened to be reading Moyer's Blog early this morning looking for his interview with Public Citizen's Joan Claybrook which I missed when it aired on PBS last Friday on "Bill Moyers Journal."


The subject of the segment was lobbying and lobbyists and their pervasive influence on our political system.


I have a large measure of respect for both Moyers and Claybrook and an enormous loathing for lobbyists and their destructive influence on MY country and I was disappointed to have missed the program.


Fortunately for me I learned from Karl Rove that Al Gore invented the internet a few years back, and that invention led to the discovery of You Tube where I found a clip of the segment and I feel very good about the modern world this morning.

The mission 'been transitioned, but Harry Reid does not support the troops

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usLast week Harry Reid stood in front of one of those backdrop banners with the slogans: "Transition the mission" and "Support our Troops" repeated all over it.

Well according to McClatchy Newpapers : The mission has been transitioned for months now.

But according to the MSM: Nothing to see here except a Democrat making a huge mistake because he won't "support the troops."

Reid argued that the war is lost and we need to start having a real dialog in this country about where we're going as a nation in Iraq.

National Journal: Paul Starobin is a good little slave

I support John Edwards for President.

I don't blog about Edwards at DailyKos much for a variety of reasons, most of them ugly and perverse, but I just watched a bit of "journalism" on C-SPAN through the web and what I saw was exceedingly ugly and perverse. Paul Starobin of the National Journal is just another slave on the Plantation, folks. Just now I viewed him toting the weary load on C-SPAN this morning.

Anyone know why there is a news blackout on Edwards? Anyone know why the media can't be burdened to cover Edwards in the constant stream of coverage on the horse race? Anyone know why the only candidate with an actual plan to cover every man woman and child with health care in this country can't get on the tube anymore - unless some is calling him a faggot or a bigot of course?
Anyone know why Edwards has turned into "he who cannot be named?"

Moyers video: The Plantation Mentality in American Media Today

by: mbair

Sat Jan 13, 2007 at 16:59:39 PM EST

(I generally don't promote non-local stuff, or cross-posted stuff, but I'm 20 minutes into this video, and it's a must see. Not necessarily shocking, but a forceful, coherent, tour-de-force of what we know, and what we must do... - promoted by Mike)

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usMoyers went down to Memphis to open the National Conference for Media Reform for more than three thousand people yesterday. The group started as a means to address the issues of media consolidation and the "plantation mentality" pervasive in major news organizations which are killing today's media and in the process our country.


And our favorite American journalist gave a rousing speech. He started out strong, the middle was explosive and he ended with a major earthquake. He focused his remarks on class, the media, the media's performance in the run up to the war and he gave us an historical perspective on the magnitude of the problems that media reformers face today. He also informed me that nothing could be more vitally important to our country today than the needed reform of the our media.
As bloggers, we need to play an important role in that battle.
