The Scott County Green Party presented a public showing of a film of Bill Moyers speaking to the National Conference for Media Reform. Although Moyer's speech was given in May of 2005, the relevance of what he said stands true in 2007. Put these Moyer's quotes on for size:
"These 'rules of the game' permit Washington officials to set the agenda for journalism, leaving the press all too often simply to recount what officials say instead of subjecting their words and deeds to critical scruntiny." "...news is what people want to keep hidden and everything else is publicity."
"An unconscious people, an indoctrinated people, a people fed only on partisan information and opinion that confirm their own bias, a people made morbidly obese in mind and spirit by the junk food of propaganda, is less inclined to put up a fight, to ask questions and be skeptical."
We look forward to showing the two DVD set on Ralph Nader, " An Unreasonable Man," when it arrives!
Still all quiet on the western front!
