I love the fact that TV politics are starting to lose their power and that the online community is starting to take on more power.

Only PBS and Bill Moyers can say it real in the media. I just hope the next generation has a Moyers saying the truth!

the left thinks the right owns the media? What a joke.

[knightschwartz]

Why do we pay for the left's media? If the goverment was paying for Glenn Beck's salaries they'd be angry but they love it when it's media. Sonia Sotomaria does not care about the constuition she is out to give away goodies to non-whites.

@hadtohappen Not racist- just different.

[beancube2008]

Just results of the market, our journalists focused too much among spectrum of populations. Also, Journalists desired themselves as weapons, not unbias independent historians. Historians in the past failed in reporting our real history set bad examples for jounalists for post-modern generations. Paid Hollywood played as historians failed real history by telling stories more often than providing investigated facts and analysis. Any culture is always too scarely rich for industrialized Hollywood.

how was he racist?

nice......i totally agree....you can trust youtube more than the news or media like

[haierdell]

I agree, but it is also important for the online community to get their asses of their computer chairs and voice their opinions openly and not just on blogs. They too need to show up in numbers to townhalls to be heard as well.

I disagree. But seeing as your account is closed, there's no point in going in detail. :(

I have lost all respect for dear old Bill. Sotomayor's comments were racists. Newt Gingrich's tweet was simple to the point and accurate. There is only so much ignoring reality that one can participate in before you lose credibility. Bill has drank too much soma, time for him to retire.

darrell - Are you crazy, missed your meds, or do you just like to post nonsense? Just curious.

DO you know what it says about a person who actually buys the BS from the right-wing media after a massive track record of repeatedly lying and getting things wrong? Not much.

Bill Moyers does a great job at informing people with actual info and not fantasy, fiction, and conspiracy theories.
