Command and Conquer

Bill Moyers continues with his staggeringly clear and cogent commentary on the current condition of American media. Moyers, in my opinion, represents a dying breed of journalists who had the instinct/balls to dig deeper then press releases and report on the issues at the foundation of the news, and at the same time managed to speak to folks across the political spectrum. While it seems that there is plenty of good investigative journalism going on at present, it has the disturbing aroma of something being preached to the choir. Moyers made the threat in passing during this speech that he was considering returning to broadcast journalism. There would indeed be worse fates.
