Only two weeks ago did we learn that Mr. Tomlinson had spent $10,000 last year to hire a contractor who would watch my show and report on political bias. That’s right. Kenneth Y. Tomlinson spent $10,000 of your money to hire a guy to watch NOW to find out who my guests were and what my stories were. Ten thousand dollars.
Gee, Ken, for $2.50 a week, you could pick up a copy of TV Guide on the newsstand. A subscription is even cheaper, and I would have sent you a coupon that can save you up to 62 percent.
In the speech, which you can read here and watch here, Moyers threatened to come out of retirement. Do it Bill — and bring Walter with you.
Bill Moyers hasn’t been retired that long, and I already miss him. (Personally, I would have listed him in my group of great Americans.) NOW still does a fine job, and I watch it as often as I can, but I wish Bill was still on it. He is one of the finest journalists in American history.
