While claiming that Bush attempted to manipulate the media about the Iraq War, Moyers in 1966 (for example) went up to a New York "Times" reporter and asked him to promote a story that LBJ wanted to run about Indochina. The Timesman responded, "How dare you try and plant a story in the New York "Times"!"<br /><br />Moyers was nothing but a partisan stooge and a toady for the Democratic Party. That is how he will be remembered. Cronkite is remembered differently, for while Uncle Walter was a Man of the New Deal and a liberal Democrat, he understood that the integrity of CBS News only lasted as long as the viewer could trust the content of what came through the box.<br /><br />Moyers never understood this. He was a propagandist. He will only be missed by the Left. Good riddance to one of LBJ's worst hacks.section9https://www.blogger.com/profile/08956773307014115891noreply@blogger.com
