Interesting questions for Moyers, including brief discussion of his harrassment at the hands of the Republican-run Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Good long transcript of a couple bits of his documentary. Would have liked a link to his documentary, though.

Bill Moyers is one of the very few in the dwindling numbers of journalists who take the time, make the effort, tell the truth and risk the results of producing a program that is both believable and supported by facts! (something very few journalists do these days and something Americans need to hear!). Mr. Moyers should teach a course (for some, a refresher course) on telling the truth and facing the facts of what is happening in today's world. Thank you, Mr. Moyers for being one of the few to take the high road. Your efforts are much appreciated, most especially in today's world! Sincerely, Emilie Leming
