Is the Reverend Jeremiah Wright a crazy man? Bill Moyers sure is. Then again, over at PBS they probably don’t get the same memos that go out to all the MSM. What you’re supposed to do, Bill, is play the same seven-second soundbite of the Rev. Wright saying “God damn America” over and over, then invite a bunch of talking heads to natter on for an hour about what that little snippet says about Wright, Obama, damning and America, preferably in terms of presumed levels of patriotism, with extra attention to the important issues of flag pins and bowling scores.
Oh Bill. You crazy, crazy man. You couldn’t stick with the script. No, you had to go out and commit an act of actual journalism. Bill Moyers interviewed the Reverend Wright on Bill Moyers’ Journal last weekend. The in-depth interview covered everything from Wright’s childhood through his education, military career, his ministry, and the context for the soundbite you’ve all heard a hundred times by now.
So is Wright crazy? In today’s Bizarro-World of “journalism,” Bill Moyers certainly is. Because he thinks that’s a question you can decide for yourself, and he takes it upon himself to give you the information you need to do so. Bill, why do you hate America?

Moyers is one of the most intelligent compassionate men I have ever seen. What is it you don't understand about his kind?
