Another One Bites The Dust

I'll have some of whatever Moyers' is smoking.

Bill Moyers Retiring From TV Journalism

"I'm going out telling the story that I think is the biggest story of our time: how the right-wing media has become a partisan propaganda arm of the Republican National Committee," says Moyers. "We have an ideological press that's interested in the election of Republicans, and a mainstream press that's interested in the bottom line. Therefore, we don't have a vigilant, independent press whose interest is the American people."

The Right has one cable network outlet and a handful of talk radio shows, a few crazy aunts in the basement tapping out cranky screeds for print and a portion of the blogosphere and suddenly (heh) the media is skewed right and the journalistic sky is falling.

I posit that it is Moyers and his ilk who have done the most damage to their own cause, not right-wingers. Many Americans who are not especially religious, idealogically driven and socially-moderate/liberal are simply tired of the MSM's rentless pursuit of secularism and knee-jerk hatred for the Judeo-Christian values that are the bedrock of the country.

To put it in Moyer's native idiom: That dog won't hunt.
