Bill Moyers preaching to the choir--moreso than usual

With one left foot in his mouth and the other up his rear end, Bill Moyers explains to lefties at Huffington Post why the NPR is actually fair and balanced.
    "Ron Schiller is a fundraiser, not a news director. NPR keeps a high, thick firewall between its successful development office and its superb news division. The "separation of church and state" -- the classic division of editorial and finance -- has been one of the glories of public radio as it has won a large and respectful audience as the place on the radio spectrum that is free of commercials and commercial values. If you would see how this integrity is upheld, go to the NPR website and pull up any of its reporting since 2009 on the Tea Party movement. Read the transcripts or listen to its coverage -- you will find it impartial and professional, a full representation of various points of view, pro and con, Further, examine how over the past few days NPR has covered the O'Keefe/Schiller contretemps and made no attempt to cover up or ignore its own failings and responsibilities."
The refreshing thing about conservative talkers, show hosts, and politicians is they know they have a bias--they'll even point it out, in case you miss it. Not so the lefties--they deny they are Communists or Socialists (although recent demonstrations show they are coming out of the Commie Closet)--they just assume no one of any value or intelligence ever has a different thought flutter past.
