Bill Moyers on "Balance"
http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/media_people/is_bill_moyers_unbalanced_no_says_bill_moyers_63787.asp

The journalist's job is not to achieve some mythical state of equilibrium between two opposing opinions out of some misshapen respect -- sometimes, alas, reverence -- for the prevailing consensus among the powers-that-be. The journalist's job is to seek out and offer the public the best thinking on an issue, event, or story. That's what I did regarding the argument for impeachment.

1. This is an awesome letter from Moyers,
I saw the program, and I believe Moyers should be given a Nobel, a Pulitzer or some reward for his island of true journalism in a sea of whirl pooling fecal material presented by most everyone else.

Thanks for the thread Scriptor Ignotus:thumbsup:

Kicked and recommended.
