A Blame America bonanza: Bill Moyers to “interview” Jeremiah Wright

I put “interview” in quotation marks, because this is guaranteed to be more of an echo chamber than anything else. Via PR Newswire:

Bill Moyers Journal to Air First Television Interview With Reverend Jeremiah Wright Since Controversy

NEW YORK, April 21 /PRNewswire/ — The Reverend Jeremiah Wright will be interviewed on PBS this week by Bill Moyers in his first broadcast interview with a journalist since he became embroiled in a controversy for his remarks and his relationship with Barack Obama.

Wright, who retired in early 2008 as pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where Senator Obama is a member, has been at the center of controversy for comments he made during sermons, which surfaced in the press in March.

The interview with Bill Moyers will air on Bill Moyers Journal on Friday, April 25 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings at www.pbs.org/moyers).

Harvard’s future Linda Greenhouses and Bill Moyerses

Linda Greenhouse is the NYTimes court reporter famous for marching in a national pro-abortion rally and delivering far-left screeds. Bill Moyers, of course, is the far-Left propagandist who has parlayed his journalistic activism into a publicly-funded slush fund.

Well, Harvard is training the next generation of liberal journalist/activists. Check out the Harvard Crimson newspaper report on the protest last night at Harvard against FBI director Robert Mueller. Look at who was protesting:

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director Robert S. Mueller was interrupted by protestors last night, during a speech at the Institute of Politics’ John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum.

Mueller, who was set to speak before a full crowd managed by tight security detail, had just begun his prepared remarks when the first protestor interrupted with screams from the second floor.

“Freedom for political prisoners!” the protestor shouted. “Justice for Herman Bell!”

Just seconds after security escorted the woman out, more shouts resonated from within the audience.

“We will never forget the role of the FBI in McCarthyism!” screamed Michael A. Gould-Wartofsky ’07, who is also a Crimson editorial editor.

Two more students interrupted the speech with protests ranging from “stop the unconstitutional repression of the environment” to “close Guantanamo.”

The student protestors included Gould-Wartofsky, Kelly L. Lee ’07, and J. Claire Provost ’07, who is also a Crimson editor.

More on Gould-Wartofsky here. And Provost’s work here.

BILL MOYERS: FRAUD AND FEAR-MONGERER

Michelle Malkin — Mon, 07 Feb 2005 05:40:32 +0000

John Hinderaker of the invaluable Power Line shreds whatever was left of Bill Moyers’ credibility into itty-bitty pieces.

Moyers’ recent anti-religious bloviations also caught the attention of Mona Charen, who writes:

One can imagine Moyers’ Cambridge audience lapping up his lurid and ignorant portrait of conservative Christians. But if the party of gloom is ever to regain its footing, it will have to start by understanding that those who defeated them are not a bunch of ignorant yahoos looking forward to Armageddon.
