The New Weekly Bill Moyers Journal Starts Tonight!


We'll all be watching. Tune in and post your comments about the topics in the show to the Moyers Blog and add your comments here to our local blog.

For example: What is your favorite Jon Stewart moment? How do you feel about the way media is handling the firings of the federal prosecutors? How about how Congress and the White House are?

And for those of you who watched "The Buying of the War" on Wednesday, how about creating a post about your reaction to that so that others may add comments to it? Did you post a comment on the Moyers Blog?
