The veteran broadcast journalist Bill Moyers spoke on Friday before 3,500 at the opening of the National Conference on Media Reform in Memphis. He announced his return to the airwaves and outlined his vision of media reform.

[I]"As ownership gets more and more concentrated, fewer and fewer independent sources of information have survived in the marketplace; and those few significant alternatives that do survive, such as PBS and NPR, are under growing financial and political pressure to reduce critical news content and to shift their focus in a mainstream direction, which means being more attentive to establishment views than to the bleak realities of powerlessness that shape the lives of ordinary people ([Only registered and activated users can see links])."

Wow, thanks for posting this I'll have to go to their archives to see Bill Moyers appearence. As we all know, the mainstream media is just a shill for the GOP. Thats why my latest cartoon is called the GOP Media Machine. I guess it's more timely than I thought.
I keep trying to post my cartoons, but I seem to be having problems with the size of files, sorry, here's the link to the toon....
