"I'm not a classy guy, I'm a reporter." --Bill Moyers
In this video Bill Moyers, of PBS, was ambushed by a producer of the O'Reilly Factor. Those not familiar with the O'Reilly Factor may not know that they often use producers to put a camera in the face of those who disagree with O'Reilly while they are walking to work, or walking to their car at home, or any other place they can find them.
Moyers, a former White House Press Secretary under LBJ and well respected journalist, has been the victim of several of these attacks and chose to turn the tables on O'Reilly.
This is what journalism has become.
Whether it is tabloid/paparazzi smear techniques or pushover laziness we often do not find the truth about what goes on. The few people in the media who ask the tough questions are labeled as "anti" or "bad" Americans. They have been labeled as left wing, Communist, and muckrakers.
As a media consumer, you must filter all information you consume. Find those reporters, commentators, and other journalists that fight for real truth. Find those who serve the profession, not themselves.
