If you didn’t watch Bill Moyers’ documentary last night regarding the joint, coordinated behavior of our government and its media in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, I can’t recommend it highly enough. […]
One of the most important points came at the end. The institutional decay which Moyers chronicles is not merely a matter of historical interest. Instead, it continues to shape our mainstream political dialogue every bit as much as it did back in 2002 and 2003. The people who committed the journalistic crimes Moyers so potently documents do not think they are guilty of anything — ask them and they will tell you — and as a result, they have not changed their behavior in the slightest.
I haven't seen the Moyers special. I will be watching it over the weekend. Moyers interviews Jon Stewart from the Daily Show and Josh Marshall of TalkingPointsMemo on Friday. I will put up a new posting on Monday for open discussion of Moyers special.
