Moyers, O’Reilly and Fox Gotcha "Journalism"

Fox Producer Porter Barry ambushes Bill Moyers at National Conference for Media Reform 2008, insisting that the NCMR is a partisan organization (it is not) and harassing him with silly questions about coming on Bill O’Reilly’s television show. Afterward, reporters at NCMR do to Barry Porter as he had done to Moyers.

Moyers said he would come on O’Reilly’s show if O’Reilly came on his first, and if O’Reilly’s owner, Rupert Murdoch would explain his remark about Bush’s Iraq War that “The greatest thing to come out of this for the world economy, if you could put it that way, would be $20 a barrel for oil. That’s bigger than any tax cut in the any country.”
