Bill Moyers: Last journalist standing

Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. But let judgment roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

Amos 5: 23-24


Despite the efforts of lesser pundits (for example, this PBS NewsHour Schields and Brooks segment about 6 minutes in) to minimize and discredit him, Bill Moyers interview with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright on April 25 proved to be riveting.


The teachings of Jeremiah Wright have indeed turned out to be an indictment of a major player in the 2008 presidential election. And that player is the political media.

Moyers' website for the interview, including the transcript, links to the video and more information.
