Bill Moyers segment with "The Wire" creator David Simon (apropos in light of Baltimore)
Published on Jan 31, 2014
David Simon, creator of the TV series 'The Wire,' talks with Bill about America's capitalism crisis. It's a reality check from a journalist who uses TV drama to report on America from the bottom up. "The horror show is we are going to be slaves to profit. Some of us are going to be higher on the pyramid and we'll count ourselves lucky and many more will be marginalized and destroyed."
