I saw it Sunday, thought it was important, but was unable to find it to link it here. Very glad you did.

All the lies are just awful, AND the state of the media, essentially 'inoperative,' and we're all victimized by it. The founders depended on having an informed electorate for our democracy to work, and we just do NOT have that now.

So...I try to check him out on You Tube...(get the tip from "Common Dreams" website) which reminds me. His post show up on You Tube a week or two later because he uses VIMEO for his shows which doesn't seem to translate into posting here on DU.

But, he's there later (a week or two or less, depending) on "You Tube" with search: Moyers and Company, You Tube and a line up of his past shows appears and you can hit the "SHARE" Link in the tabs and post here. If anyone wants to find him when they miss his show for his past ones.

My "Time-Warner" moved his show along with some others onto a High Tier Subscriber feature....and since I have "Basic Cable" I can't view him on my local PBS. It cut out a huge segment of former PBS Viewers who don't want to pay more to "Time-Warner" and it was mostly older (involved) and folks like me who just don't want to Pay More for Crap from "T-W"

He is available on ROKU with the "Nowhereman" Personal App one can subscribe to for free...but, I forget to check sometimes.
