[OmmmSweetOmmm]

to be on too!

[Junkdrawer]

1. Giving Josh Marshall a national platform is awsome...

:thumbsup:

[Junkdrawer]

22. The background story that the MSM won't touch....

"It's just the Democrats second-guessing the prerogative of the President"...

Bullshit...

[Deb]

2. thank you! n/t

[Kagemusha]

3. Hmm, some stars aligning in strange and mysterious ways here.

Good luck to both guests, they deserve the love!

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

4. It's not being shown here in Chicago until 9:30 pm.

I'll watch Moyers and catch Maher on the re-run.

[dflprincess]

[orleans]

64. shit! i missed it! (how was it?) n/t

[AnnInLa]

5. WTF.....is not on my PBS station, altho according to TV Guide,

it was scheduled. Anyone having my problem?

[Crunchy Frog]

53. Yes. The PBS station here is airing the television auction instead.

But not to worry, their going to be showing it at 2AM.

Bunch of fascists are never getting a penny out of me.:grr:

[bobbolink]

76. I don't see it on the schedule for 2am,

but I looked it up, and it's supposed to be on Sunday morning at 11am, Channel 6. Hope you are able to catch it then.

[Crunchy Frog]

78. Actually, I'm currently stuck in Syracuse with their crappy PBS station,

but I was able to tape the program for later viewing. Can't wait to be back in Colorado.

[Up2Late]

66. Yeah, me too. I don't get it here until 4:00pm on Sunday...

...right after they show the 90 minute "Selling the War" for the first time too.

It really suck. I just wrote to the Moyers website to tell them how pissed off I am about it.

Here's a link to the Transcript, the site says the video will be there tomorrow:

<http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/04272007/transcript1.html>

Btw, Click the TV Schedule link at the link above, it will tell you if you're in the same boat as me.

[krkaufman]

67. Chuckle. It's not Moyers fault, of course. Best to contact your local PBS station.

[Up2Late]

75. Oh, I know, I'm not blaming Moyers, just wanted to let him know...

...just in case it's an over site and not the Censorship it feels like. I figure, if anyone could get this changed, he would have more pull than I would.

[The River]

6. This is GREAT!

Must See TV

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

17. What Chicago PBS station do you get?

It's being shown on WTTW, Channel 11 at 9:30 pm here in Chicago. It's not being shown on WYCC, Channel 20.

[bettyellen]

12. wow, thank you OSM....

:hi:

[EST]

13. Local time here is 8:20 and BMJ starts at 9:00.

I have to buy outside channels in my satellite package, can't get what I really would like, but there are two Moyers prodictions on tonight with repeats.

[Junkdrawer]

14. Jon just nailed it.....

The government depends that we're too busy to examine this war.

They sent 10,000 more troops...They'd like to send 400,000 but that would mean a draft and then we'd suddenly not be so damn busy...

[TahitiNut]

50. Indeed ... he put it in a nutshell very well with that. Without glee - and soberly.

The tone is exactly right, imho.

[madokie]

58. heres the link

add: only a minute and 48 seconds or so,

[Junkdrawer]

72. EXCERPT FROM TRANSCRIPT:

JON STEWART: But war that hasn't affected us here, in the way that you would imagine a five-year war would affect a country. I think that's why they're so really — here's the disconnect. It's sort of this odd and I've always had this problem with the rationality of it. That the President says, "We are in the fight for a way of life. This is the greatest battle of our generation, and of the generations to come. "And, so what I'm going to do is you know, Iraq has to be won, or our way of life ends, and our children and our children's children all suffer. So, what I'm gonna do is send 10,000 more troops to Baghdad."

So, there's a disconnect there between — you're telling me this is fight of our generation, and you're going to increase troops by 10 percent. And that's gonna do it. I'm sure what he would like to do is send 400,000 more troops there, but he can't, because he doesn't have them. And the way to get that would be to institute a draft. And the minute you do that, suddenly the country's not so damn busy anymore. And then they really fight back, and then the whole thing falls apart. So, they have a really delicate balance to walk between keeping us relatively fearful, but not so fearful that we stop what we're doing and really examine how it is that they've been waging this.

[TahitiNut]

16. On WFUM (PBS) here (SE Mich) at 10pm ... local PBS stations all have their own schedules.

It's a good way to get a Jon Stewart 'fix' on a Friday night. It's a good line-up.

[proud patriot]

18. KQED in the SF Bay Area is showing it @ 10:30 after NOW

:hi:

[rodeodance]

27. viewing it out of Green Bay WI

[rodeodance]

21. RECOMMEND.

[rodeodance]

23. PBS viewers are getting the show of their lifetime!

[dog_lovin_dem]

24. Stewart was fantastic...

as is Josh Marshall. It is so great to see this type of info on the national airwaves!

[rodeodance]

25. wake up AMERICA---

[rodeodance]

26. Stewart is talking of his interview with McCain

[Tarheel_Dem]

28. k&r......not on until 11 p.m. here in N.C.,

which means I'll have to TIVO one of the Bills. Don't know why they put Moyers up against Maher.

[rodeodance]

30. this is the 2nd splash by Moyers in one week.

[Tarheel_Dem]

34. true...I am so glad his voice is back.....

now let's get Sen. Gravel his own show too! I know he doesn't stand a chance in hell of winning the nomination, but we need more folks like him & Moyers speaking truth to power.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

31. This was a Fantastic show! I am not going to give any spoilers. The video will probably

be available at Moyer's site at pbs.org soon. He does stream his programs!

[BrklynLiberal]

35. Yep. It is there.

Go to www.pbs.org and click onh Bill Moyers' Journal.

[krkaufman]

68. Nope. Friday night's program isn't yet posted....

... though Wednesday's "Buying the War" program *is* (which is a must-see, as well).

[upi402]

74. The clip was great! Right on as usual! k/r

[Cha]

77. Thanks!~

YAY!

[bcoylepa]

32. bill moyers national treasure

this show was extraordinary! I remember when they cut NOW to 30 minutes - to have Moyers on for one hour with this much honesty is quite telling about how far we have come - Stewart was fantastic and I was glad to see Josh Marshall get this much coverage on the AG scandal- Thank you Bill Moyers!

[tech3149]

39. You've got that right

I don't pay for cable and rarely turn on the TV, but Moyer's Journal will be a regular for me.

[rodeodance]

36. now talking of Bloggers

[rodeodance]

37. Gonzo is getting a beating (as he should)

[scarletwoman]

38. Started at 8:30 pm (CDT) here -- Jon Stewart was wonderful!

Looking forward to the Josh Marshall segment...

(k & r)
sw

(edited because -- D'oh! -- I misspelled Jon.)

[rodeodance]

42. lots of PBS viewers are a bit 'mature"----bet they will tune into Steward now-just to

check him out. Moyers endorses him with this show.

[scarletwoman]

60. Speaking as a "mature" PBS viewer, you young whippersnapper, I don't have cable.

If I did, I'd have been watching Jon Stewart for as long he's been doing his show.

Are you implying that we "mature" viewers -- we of the Bob Dylan/Jimi Hendrix/Led Zeppelin generation -- might be unhip?

sw
:hippie:

[krkaufman]

69. Jimi who?

:)

[scarletwoman]

73. Damn kids! Get off my lawn!

:P

[krkaufman]

80. Chuckle! : )

'scuse me, now, while I slice this pie.

[TahitiNut]

47. Same here, sw ... I thought Moyers was at his best - and that's a very high standard.

Jon has kept a tight rein on any hint of self-indulgence ... kept his head. and shows he's a true mensch, imho.

[scarletwoman]

61. I am so thrilled that Bill Moyers is back! It's been clear for quite awhile that he's been appalled

about what's happening in this country.

It sure seems like these programs are his way of doing what he sees as an absolutely vital duty and service to our body politic.

Viva, Bill Moyers!

sw

[johnaries]

40. Fantastic show!

Did you see the admiration Moyers' had for Jon? Marshall was also great. I think a lot of new people will start visiting his excellent sites.
I hope they put this online for anyone who missed it. Definitely must see TV.

[rodeodance]

41. Moyers giving credit to Marshall for being on the job and getting the story OUT.

[rodeodance]

43. He makes the story of the AG scandle come alive.

[rodeodance]

45. k

[krkaufman]

70. Marshall and TPM *have* done a great job ...

... but it makes me realize how much more we need. They've dedicated a lot of time to this one area, so how many more TPMs do we need to get the rest of the Bush crimes uncovered?

[Atman]

48. Jon Stewart is one of the smartest - and bravest - men in America.

Holy chit...what a great interview! His depth of understanding of this entire situation is just amazing. I love that guy!

.

[Crunchy Frog]

49. We have the television auction showing here! Yaaaaay!!!

Same with Wedensday night and "Buying the War".:eyes:

I am so pissed at the local PBS station here right now.:grr:

[scarletwoman]

52. Sounds you need to get on your local PBS station's ass. These shows are being made available online.

One way or another, these are absolutely requisite programs for anyone who wants to see actual truth being told on TV -- it's an utterly amazing and uplifting experience!

sw

[Crunchy Frog]

54. I did. This is a copy of the email I got back from the program manager.

Believe me, I'm no fan of the auction but as program manager, I must
also work with our fundraising and development offices to generate
monies to buy the programs we broadcast. While it's not the best time,
Bill Moyers Journal is airing Sunday, at 1 pm.

The auction was scheduled for these dates almost a year ago and involves
the coordination of hundreds of volunteers. We did not know the Moyers
program was airing on this date until February of this year.

If I had my way the auction wouldn't be on the air period. It would be
on-line. I am constantly fighting to keep programming on WCNY as
scheduled by PBS nationally. When we have fundraisers I try to schedule
the new programs pre-empted by the events as soon as possible...which in
this case is Sunday.

The films in last week's AMERICA AT A CROSSROADS series featured
viewpoints from all angles, not just Perle's. I received complaints from
Republicans and Democrats on various films (more of which will appear
Sundays, May 6 and 13 from 3-5 pm due to the auction) which tells me
there was balance when looking at the whole of the series.

Dale Wagner
TV Program Manager

Looks a little testy. I wonder if he's been getting lots of complaints.

[scarletwoman]

59. Poor guy. Yeah, kinda sounds like yours was not the only complaint. (nt)

[flyarm]

62. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOUR PBS IS SHOWING THIS WHEN FUNDIES ARE IN CHURCH! EOM

[krkaufman]

71. Ha! Dale thinks "Crossroads" had balance because he received complaints from both sides.

Gee, isn't it possible that the each segment was imbalanced in favor of one viewpoint or the other?

Judging bias by "balance" or "number of complaints" is an effective tool, since the bias that needs to be measured is the degree to which the facts are uncovered and reported.

[dweller]

51. starts 11pm tonite for RAL-DUR Triangle area

channel 4 UNC-TV, etc.


dp

[Reciprocity]

55. Wow both interviews where fantastic!

This was the first time I have seen Jon interviewed where he wasn't trying to distract the interviewer.

[jannyk]

63. Wow! Now that was an hour well spent. K&R

[Forkboy]

65. Just caught the replay here on the East Coast

I'd this weekend was a double slam dunk for Moyers.

Hell,a triple slam dunk if you count the nice comments about Halberstam at the end.

[deutsey]

79. After I saw this show I surfed and came across Glenn Beck blathering

about the "end times". :eyes:

What a breath of fresh air Moyers is. :thumbsup:
