Billy O'Reilly Journalism at it's finest

Here Porter Barry, one of O'Reilly's producers, ambushes Bill Moyers at the National Conference for Media Reform in an attempt to create a negative story. Definitely an interesting conversation. But out of all the political television shows, I strongly hold Bill Moyers to be one of the most comprehensive, hard-working, and fair journalists. His weekly show on PBS is extremely under watched as well, despite the variety of subject matters explored and the intelligent way it is presented. So it's fucking hysterical and scary to watch what O'Reilly makes out of this Bill Moyers/Porter Barry encounter. A "body language" expert...are you fucking kidding me? And just to get the record straight, the "National Conference for Media Reform" is sponsored by "Free Press," the largest non-partisan media advocacy organization in the country. Free Press stands for creating a competitive media industry geared towards public interest, and strongly criticizes media consolidation while defending network neutrality. Does that sound like a "crazy, left winged, nutty conference" to you?
