Bill Moyers Essay: The End Game for Democracy


This short summary (less than 4 mins) played after the following, longer interview. 







Mark Leibovich on Glitz and Greed in Washington





Bill talks with journalist Mark Leibovich about his latest book, This Town, a city where money rules the day and status is determined by who you know and what they can do for you. “If you can sell yourself as someone who knows how Washington works, someone who has these relationships,” Leibovich explains, “that’s a very marketable commodity.  If you’re seen as someone who knows how this town works, someone who is a usual suspect in this town, you can dine out for years — that’s why no one leaves.”

  1. Finally an honest reporter that tells it like it is. Remember George Putman ? most of you dont and that is so sad. George passed away a while back he was another voice of truth amoung the cowardly silence of todays reporters.
