Moyers on the Media

August 30th, 2007 by Doug Schnitzspahn

Bill Moyes gives me hope. His intellectual range and uncompromising dedication to journalistic integrity are a constant inpiration to me—and I hope they can be an influence on my own work. But most of all, I love the way he engages the people he interviews. His questions come from true intellectural curiosity.

Take a look at/listen to his interview with FCC Commissioner Michael J. Copps and his investiagtion into the consolidation of media outlets.

COPPS: ….all those big issues get filtered and funneled through big media. That’s how the people hear about it. That’s what sets the parameters of the debate. And that’s what maybe limits intelligent decision making for the future of our democracy.
