"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Bill Moyers spoke at the 2007 National Conference for Media Reform in Memphis, TN. The gist of this speech is summed up in this quote from that address:
"So if we need to know what is happening, and Big Media won’t tell us; if we need to know why it matters, and Big Media won’t tell us; if we need to know what to do about it, and Big Media won’t tell us … we have to tell the story ourselves."
Read the entire speech here. Be prepared to be afraid...very afraid if you care about access to and quality of information free from propaganda.
