I was a little surprised to see Bill Moyers stepping down from NOW. It makes me wish I’d found the show a little earlier so I could have seen more of them. Ah, well. His final episode had a piece on independence in the right-wing media that was interesting for the interviews. Richard Viguerie’s description of journalism being just opinion was particularly awesome. I’d love to see that tagline on FOX. “Just opinion, just like all journalism.”

The espisode also had Anthony D. Romero saying typically level-headed things. This interview, and their recent work on behalf of same-sex couples in Oregon, reminds me that it’s time to throw more money at the ACLU.

I’ve been trying to find a permanent link to this NOW episode but can only seem to find current links that will shift. I suspect it will appear at http://www.pbs.org/now/transcript/transcript351_full.html, but it hasn’t quite yet.
