Why do I care about PBS?  I stopped even thinking about
given them money at least a decade ago, and I almost
never watch them any more.  Very rarely do they show
anything of interest.

The best revenge is to turn them off and ignore them. 
With the internet, Mr. Moyers will be able to talk to
you, and you can listen to him. No need for the high
priests at PBS to give him their corporate blessing.

Turn off PBS and walk away.

This does reinforce claims that Moyers Journal and NOW were censored at Koch demand. Maybe he’ll be more forceful this try and interview a Truther. Maybe he’ll uncover “shadow tech” and a new Cointelpro. We can only hope. I welcome him although I am the same Grady Lee Howard who called him a hostage when he purged David Ray Griffin’s book from his list. As I plan to help occupy DC Oct. 6 and protest at the Charlotte DNC I’m glad to have Bill covering those things.

Bill Moyers’ programs have been much more than a stage for alternative political
views. His interviews have always been focused on a wide variety of themes
important to human culture.  In many ways, his work has embodied what PBS
originally was before adapting itself to the demands from political/business interests and audience mediocrity in order to remain in existence.

PBS once again does the hind-lick maneuver.  Like all other nationwide broadcast stations, it’s scared shitless of losing its funding. One look at a Newsmaker Interview or Shields and Brooks “analysis” on The News Hour tells you what PBS is looking for:  standard fare that allows Democrats and Republicans to hijack the airways with insufferable bullshit. See coverage of recent debt-ceiling crisis for details.

Much ado about nothing. A new show falling in what is mid season for PBS programming, a schedule already set, paid for even.

This seems a place to note that leftists never gain traction with the majority precisely because they insist, time and again, that everything reaffirms the belief that monsters lurk everywhere. Same reason the Tea Party will never be able to survive without the constant infusion of large sums of money, something of which the left is rather bereft.

Just like they cancelled the estimable “NOW” a few years ago, and replaced it with the more establishment-friendly “Need to Know.”  (Is that still on?)

@ queenie

He will never REALLY challenge the 9/11 malarkey.

@ Patrick Henry

Sorry buddy but I don’t think that is going to happen.

Hopefully transcripts of his show will be on the internet or broadcast on U Tube for those of us with no television. His shows used to be interesting and informative. I was always waiting for him to challenge the “official” 9/11 bullshit we were fed. Don’t think he ever did, though. Correct me if I am wrong.

Link TV and RT would gladly make room for Moyers.

Yeah.  Why does this not surprise me?  I love and respect Bill
Moyers.
