Media reform

Bob McChesney's Free Press group sponsored the National Conference for Media Reform in St. Louis this weekend.

Apparently, Bill Moyers gave the keynote speech and laid the smack down on Kenneth Tomlinson, the chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting who is agitating to fix the perceived "liberal bias" of PBS (read: eviscerate critical programming).
