My most favoritest tid-bits from the Bill Moyers classic
1. The clean left hook he delivered to PBS, and by reference to the former apparatchik who was planted to destroy PBS.

2. The slam against Oprah.

2. He played a clip on Oprah where an audience member stood up
to express her doubts about all the propoganda about going to war. Oprah exxentially implied that she was nuts and humiliated her. It was bizarre.

3. The audience member doubted the media machine produced war propaganda
or did Oprah doubt that?

4. The audience member did; Oprah ridiculed her and shot her down
And wouldn't give her a new car. :)

5. The audience member was the Bushie? Even so, Oprah is

nuttier than an Almond Joy. I've listened to some of her radio promos on XM. All silly magic thinking nonsense.

6. the audience member doubted the bushie rush to war
She expressed concerns, Oprah essentially implied
she was crazy, said we (her and her liberal hawk guest
and chalabi associate) aren't giving you propaganda
we are just telling you how it is. Then she dismissed
her by rushing her off saying she had a right to an
opinion (but it was obvious she thought the audience
member was crazy for doubting the rush to war).

7. Thanks. Atman must have misunderstood my question before.
That sounds more like Oprah, gazillionaire corporatist.
