Political slime again

Looks like Hillary Clinton was right – years ago, there is a vast right wing conspiracy.
The following is a portion of an address given by Bill Moyers to the annual convention of the Society of Environmental Journalists in Austin, Texas, on October 1, 2005:
“...My colleagues and I reported these stories again and again on my weekly PBS series, to the consternation of the president’s minions at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The CPB Chairman, Kenneth Tomlinson, turned the administration’s discomfort at embarrassing disclosures into a crusade to discredit our journalism. Tomlinson left the chairmanship this week, but the right-wing coup at public broadcasting is complete.....Sitting beside her (the new chairman) and Tomlinson on the board is another Bush appointee—also a partisan Republican activist— who was a charter member and chair of Newt Gingrich’s notorious political action committee, GOPAC. Reporting to them is the White House’s handpicked candidate to be president and chief executive officer of the CPB—a former co-chair of the Republican National Committee whose husband became PR director of the Chemical Manufacturers Association after he had helped the pesticide industry smear Rachel Carson for her classic work on the environment, Silent Spring. Mark my words: If this gang has anything to say about it, there will be no challenging journalism to come from public television while they are around; no investigative reporting on the environment; no reporting at all on conflicts of interest between government and big business; no naming of names.”

The conspiracy to screw Americans and rob America – brought to you by George Bush and Karl Rove. Can you feel the love?
