Bill Moyers Journal | Buying the War | End of Objectivity

Uploaded by plooger on Apr 29, 2007
In this excerpt from the Apr.25, 2007 'Buying the War' broadcast of Bill Moyers Journal, Bill Moyers interviews Walter Pincus, of the Washington Post, who describes the end of objective journalism -- "truth squading" or fact-checking -- at the Post during the early Reagan years.
This brief segment clarifies how we've devolved to a world of "he said/he said" coverage of issues, and highlights one particular practitioner of this modern "journalistic" practice, Tim Russert.
(Consider Pincus' comments, and you'll understand why people have flocked to The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Their content often derives from contrasting how a politician's words/actions differ from their past words/actions -- truth squading with a comic flair, really.)
