The media, all of it is the same. Left-wing, socialist, free-thinking, irresponsible, slanted, skewed and bias at best. It is simple folks, news is business and as a business it must adher to the rule of supply and demand. Both the left and right get a knot in their you know what everytime, all the time about so many things. This is not a political move, it is a buisness move. The political landscape is slowling shifting once again to center (not the right as of yet) and the media is shuffling along with it as a drifting tide on the beach pushing back sand. The media has been hard-left and will continue. They are not really interested in hard hitting facts, nose to the grindstone investigation anymore, it is all about flowery, sentiment, affliliation, "why can't we all just get along" type mentality. If you really want news, get a pencil and paper and go out and cover it, because you not going to find it in American anymore. Everyone has their opinion and until real news is once again practiced, that is only what you will have, so quit taking sides, bashing each other-because the media is sitting on the edge and watching and laughing at your pitiful, pathetic jestures and saying "who cares?"

Poor misinformed soul. I was so sorry to see Bill Moyers go. Here was a man with deep love of his country and actually expressed his and our feelings that our country is headed in a disastrous direction. We see it happening, the media in general are only cheer leaders for the status quo. They are useless. PBS has moved to the right as evident in news shows. Washington Week in Review is just a joke. It used to be an informative and interesting program. Now it is just inside the beltway jokers protecting Washington, DC. They are quite pathetic on the program. I watch very little TV these days. Why would I? But I always watched Bill Moyers' Journal and David Brancachio's (spelling not correct) NOW. Now there is the Newshour which is becoming more and more irrelevant and of course the outstanding Frontline. The amusing thing is that as PBS misjudges and moves to the right, the right wing is so distrustful of PBS that they wouldn't watch those programs come hell or highwater. So instead PBS is hastening its own demise by abandoning its core audience. Bad planning, guys. Poor Patriot (questionable title) think the Democratic party is liberal from his statements.

Bill Moyers is as left as they come and worked for several Democrats over the years. Jon Meacham is part of the liberal media, runs liberal Newsweek magazine, called Obama a "centrist", and is a regular at MSNBC. In no way is Jon Meacham a conservative. It's about time Bill Moyers retired from his propaganda soap box, I'm sick of taxpayers funding his televised op-ed column! you guys are NUTS!

I hated him in the 60's when he was Johnson's press secretary (I hated anyone associated with Johnson!), found him incredibly bright and interesting in the 70's and have followed him ever since then. What is the deal, anyway? I thought he was "retiring" 5 or so years ago because of W's administration, but to leave us with this Supreme Court and no Moyers seems wrong somehow!
