Bill Moyers Returns to Investigative Reporting

[Robbien]

Journalist Bill Moyers returns to investigative reporting in October with three documentaries taking on important issues facing the nation in the upcoming elections for control of Congress. In Moyers on America, airing Wednesdays, October 4, 11, and 18 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings), Moyers and his team travel the nation to report on political corruption, Christians and the environment, and democratic access to the Internet.

On October 4, "Capitol Crimes" investigates the Abramoff lobbying
scandal examining the web of relationships, secret deals and political
manipulation that reveals the shadowy underbelly of American politics. On
October 11, "Is God Green?" looks at the significant implications of a
debate among politically powerful conservative evangelical Christians over
the handling of the environment. And on October 18, "The Net at Risk"
reports on if a few mega-media corporations get their way in Washington,
they could restrict the democratic possibilities of the Web's new future.

"We're looking at three issues that deserve to be at the center of the
debate this fall, not just because they are important topics, but because
together these stories reveal a powerful and sometimes disturbing picture
about how our government works," says Bill Moyers. "The way these issues
are playing out should serve as a wake-up call for citizens."

Amazing that PBS is airing his docs!

[MuseRider]

3. This makes me very happy.

Those are great pre election topics too. :)

[Robbien]

5. Yes, some good news for a change

But the topics of Abramoff corruption, the Christian anti-science anti-environment movement and the Telcos grab for rights over the internet, are not just good pre-election topics. They are topics which the corporate media have carefully ignored so it is great Moyers is giving them a bit of air time.

[ProgressiveEconomist]

13. That's incredible energy for someone who was Press Secretary for LYNDON JOHNSON!

Just imagine what he STILL could do with $100 million and some well-trained proteges, and what he could have accomplished had he gotten those resources fifteen or twenty years ago.

14. Excellent news.

I'll be watching. Thanks.

[Greeby]

15. Woot

I thought it was wishful thinking when he said in a speech last year "I'm putting my detractors on notice. They might just force me out fo the rocking chair and back into the anchor chair!" :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[SpiralHawk]

16. Because the corporate mass media refuses to serve the public interest

Moyers must come out of retirement. Welcome back, Bill.

But it is a SHAME that the corporate blow-dry reporters are all on their knees, having assumed the position for their Big Pay Checks. Shame on them. Shame on the corporate media -- which could all be doing this.

Just tell the truth -- without malice or bias. That's all the American people want.

17. Excellent news!

:toast: :kick:

[CollegeDUer]

18. He's a great fighter for public interest

A Nader of the airwaves.

[Spazito]

Mr. Moyers is a man of incredible principle and one who loves his country too much to stay silent.

[negativenihil]

[0007]

24. This is great news. Now if Phil Donahue could just land a gig.

[PinkyisBlue]

25. I'm glad it's on PBS, as I refuse to shell out money to watch the drivel

on cable (although there are a few stations I miss, like Animal Planet, Nick at Night, Lifetime, Court TV to name a few). This should be very interesting!

[Hawkowl]

26. Heir to Murrow

Finally, a man worthy of the title, journalist.

[MasonJar]

27. Now that that piece of ____ Tomlison is gone, Bill can once again

tell us what is really happening. Thank you, Bill.

[nam78_two]

28. Great! I heart Bill Moyers /nt

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

29. Now THIS is gonna be GOOD.

He'd better keep a bodyguard close- they're gonna have to try to suicide him before he's done.

[harpboy_ak]

30. Molly's right, run that man for president...

Molly Ivins sez we should get Moyers to run for president, and she's right.

[aaronbees]
