This is Bill Moyers opening
address to the 3rd NCMR in
Memphis, TN. He covers a range of critical issues - corporate
media consolidation, net neutrality, the digital divide, a free press
as a check on government excess and abuse, the threat of the
"plantation mentality" and the need for alternative media to "tell our
story."
As the saying goes, "You can't keep a good man down."
And despite the Republican witch hunt of two years ago that purged him
from his PBS program, Now, Bill Moyers returns to PBS
with Bill Moyers Journal while
Kenneth Tomlinson has been forced to resign as chairman of Corporation for
Public Broadcasting under a cloud of personal corruption charges and
following a report by the CPB Inspector General that detailed apparent
violations of federal law and CPB regulations by politicizing the
programming and content of CPB and PBS.
Bill Moyers was the closing speaker at the 2nd NCMR
conference and at that time made a public response to the Tomlinson/CPB
scandal. Visit Democracy Now! for video and transcript of that
address.
