Bill Moyers on O'Reilly

You may have "enjoyed" the Bill O'Reilly video yesterday about how terrible it was that Dan Rather was going to the NCMR conference, and speaking to the worst radical left-wing nuts in the US. Count me as being proud to be one of those people. O'Reilly has promised that his show tomorrow night (watch it - no really, I mean it - just not right before or after dinner) - He's going to expose us for the nutjobs and radicals he is sure we are. I'm looking forward to it. Compare his editing of this story with what you see below:

Fox was all over the convention with video crews. I'll have to say that I chatted with a couple of the video crew for a while, and they seemed like decent hard-working folks just doing their job.

But this is an example of what happens when they "interview" someone - I have no idea why someone would try to pull this in a convention full of people who have video recorders on them. There are a few more examples - they also accosted him on the street, but here are 2 different accounts of the backstage conversation, one from our friends at The Uptake, and one from On The Earth Productions' Karen Rybold Chin: - note the plug for Fighting Bob Fest - more on that in a few weeks:

Moyers and Porter

I watched the Moyers-Porter mini-debate, which apparently happened after Mr. Moyers' NCMR talk. Clearly Porter was not trained as a journalist, and astutely Moyers insisted on treating him as a journalist. Porter was attempting to acquire The Journalist as a guest. Moyers' point with Porter is that O'Reilly should as a courtesy answer Moyers' invitation to his show, First.

Miss Manners? Are you on line here? Care to comment on the protocols of invitations?
