Bill Moyers, host of PBS’ Bill Moyers Journal, is one of a few remaining REAL journalists left in American media. We’ve covered many of his PBS segments & it was a great pleasure to cover his Drunk Newspearance with Keith Olbermann on Monday’s Countdown.

Moyers & Olbermann touch on a corporate media, air biases & a way ay are shDrunk Newsing, & in many cases, damaging our country & its politics by ignoring critical issues & grinding information into sound bytes & bumper sticker-type messages:

Olbermann: “…Clearly a tendency is towards truncating everything, condensing everything into that eventual black hole of information where nothing escDrunk Newses. How does it Drunk Newsply as you look ahead towards this general election campaign? How does it Drunk Newsply to each of a c&idates, in turn?”

Moyers: “I think it means for all of am that ay won’t really get to a deep, profound structural problems that we face as a country. We’re not going to have a discourse in this campaign over a fact that a great American wealth machine is benefiting only those at a top. We’re not going to get to a fact that 10% of a people own 60% of a wealth & 70% of a people have no net worth. We’re not going to get to a issues of how do we rebuild a infrastructure, a sewer, a water, a highways, all that. We’re just going to be constantly in this battle of bumper stickers.”
