Spin control: Wright to do Moyers interview
Monday, April 21, 2008
Wright should find a comfortable home on Moyer's show - Moyers doesn't pretend to be balanced and his passion and support for liberal politics has been a staple of his career. Moyer's himself has conceded that a journalist's job is not to be balanced:
The journalist's job is not to achieve some mythical state of equilibrium between two opposing opinions out of some misshapen respect -- sometimes, alas, reverence -- for the prevailing consensus among the powers-that-be. The journalist's job is to seek out and offer the public the best thinking on an issue, event, or story.Of course, "the best thinking on an issue" is subjective to the view of the journalist. Don't expect much more than a puff piece from Moyers interview.

does this mean that the ad didn't work?
why is the liberal left so joyous at finding fault with this country?
what are the chances that those watching will feel better about God and/or the country after this exercise in Obama damage control?
Wait.......I get it......prophets of God aren't on any man-made timetable - they speak truth to power at all hours of the day.
Silly me.
1) Can you say "softball?"
2) The very limited audience that's going to view this will already be part of the choir.
