Alternet is one of the progressive internet sources that qualifies as taking up a charge for change against right leaning media and put the two in balance.
Naming Bill Moyers as a potential leader in such a change is a strong indication to me that the writer of this piece, Robert Parry, is sincere and has carefully explored the landscape of journalism at its best.
How to achieve the balance will be a challenge in itself, as money talks in this country, and folks like Scaife, among others, and including Murdoch, have held sway for so long, money alone will not move the media to a progressive platform. People, in general, have bought into the news they read rather than the news that is often unreported.
And while it is understandable that the Conservative Right is concerned about the fairness doctrine and so am I but for different reasons, it is a premature reaction but possibly based on real fear rather than fear promoted for gain.
