How absolutely hilarious. Bill Moyers complaining about what he considers
biased news staions.

I guess he forgot he was senior news analyst for CBS and PBS news.

Sour grapes. The guy is just ****ed that we no longer have to depend on the
3 TV networks for our news on the tube.



To quote Moyers

"There are always a lot of people who prefer the comfortable lie to the
uncomfortable truth" Seems to fit several in this newsgroup.


There are several in this newsgroup who like to see both sides of a story and
reach their own conclusions.

Sometimes the truth is uncomfortble, sometimes it's pleasant.


I work out at the local YMCA 3x/week on the sweat and suffer machines
(heart condition). They have maybe 10 TV sets mounted so you can see
them (unless you're at too much an angel). You can listen through
earphones to any of the channels. I usually watch the women and listen
to CNN or CNBC. Except a couple of days they had Faux in place of CNN.
I'm listening and thinking what the hell happened to CNN -- this
sounds like a Republican add. Turns out that in a way it was.

Blindfold me, and play all the major news networks -- betcha I can pick
out Faux. I won't claim to be able to ID any others.

Compared to CNN, NBC, CBS, et al, *any* fair and balanced presentation would
seem like a Republican ad! That's my point.

The mainstream news media, Moyers laments, has taken a dive...

He could have stopped right there. It's been taking a dive for a long time, but
the word took a while to penetrate. It wasn't until people started seeing a
little more of the real news (both sides) that they realized what they were
missing.

Yup, lots of folks like seeing the real thing and making their own decisions.
You, Jimcomma, should try it. You might like it.
