My Conversation with Bill Moyers

I recently interviewed my long time friend and mentor, Bill Moyers, who, after serving as a member of the Lyndon Johnson administration, became one of the most respected journalists on American television. He has spent his life engaging with central issues of American democracy. We talked about whether Barack Obama is "elitist" and discussed his recent interview with Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

Bill Moyers stated something very poignant and is very telling. Should Obama lose this election due to the media you can be certain that it was from "Asassination by soundbite" We lost tragically JFK, Bobby Kennedy and MLK from the hateful and psychotic. In our day and age we have the corporate media Asassination by soundbite .

Charlie Rose and Bill Moyers - the two greatest living interviewers.

Suggestion: one of them could invite Sen. Clinton on to explain what her thinking is on her campaign. I would like to know.

Charlie is so modest. The man spent the better part of 40 minutes of one inane wright question after another. It was one of Charlie's more idiotic shows. Ad nauseum doesn't do him justice.
