Bill Moyers On Karl Rove

Posted by Mark on August 17, 2007 at 11:55 am.

It is becoming predictably routine that every time Bill Moyers speaks he produces a classic oration of eloquence and reason. Tonights closing commentary on his PBS Journal is no exception:

In this excerpt, Moyers applies his unique insight to fellow Texan, Karl Rove:

“Karl Rove figured out a long time ago that the way to take an intellectually incurious draft-averse naughty playboy in a flight jacket with chewing tobacco in his back pocket and make him governor of Texas, was to sell him as God’s anointed in a state where preachers and televangelists outnumber even oil derricks and jack rabbits.”

Watch the video because, once again, Moyers nails it.

Freak Show

What better theme to illustrate the absurdity of Rupert Murdoch's Fox News than a circus, and specifically, a FreakShow?

The triumvirate of Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and Glenn Beck, are the epitome of the sideshow ethos that celebrates fantasy and fraud. They are consummate con men and purveyors of a twisted set of clown family values that honor war, wealth, and religious and racial prejudice. They are the ideal representatives for a so-called "news" network that traffics in propaganda, sleaze, and disinformation.

Choose Your Weapon

The past decade has seen the artist's place in society become an increasingly wobbly axis of discord as they are battered and belittled for doing nothing more than what they were born to do: express themselves.

The time has come to beat back the repressive forces that prefer the Dark Ages to the Renaissance. Those that presently grip the reins of our society know the power with which art speaks, and they are doing their best to suppress it. We must not leave them alone on that battlefield.

Harmful If Swallowed

The corporate-dominated Mainstream Media dishes out copious portions of toxic disinformation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

As with any potentially dangerous substance, it ought to come with a warning label to protect consumers. Seeing as how the media were probably not going to do it themselves, the designers at News Corpse stepped forward to provide this sticker to protect unwary citizens from harm.

America's Barack

History was made on November 4, 2008, when Barack Obama overwhelming won election to become the 44th President of the United States of America.

Forty-five long years after Martin Luther King's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, the manifestation of that dream has come to pass. The fulfillment of this dream is a declaration that we can come back from the dark days of division that characterized the Bush years, and much of the past two hundred. And it is evidence that the people, when inspired, will rise up to take back their country.

McCain NOPE

Peace? Nope. Health care? Nope. Fair trade and tax? Nope. Choice? Nope. Environment? Nope. Get the idea?

John McCain, the "straight-talking, maverick" Republican candidate for senate, is rapidly becoming better known as a flip-flopping, sycophant, who is happy to keep our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for another 100 years and tolerate the befouling of our environment. In contrast to Barack Obama's campaign of optimism and hope, McCain offers a vision that is squarely focused on obstacles.
