We can't elect Moyers for president, sadly, but we can benefit from his presence on air and online.

His current show looks to be enlightening as we race toward another useless election.  You can watch the whole thing here: 

Challenging Power, Changing Politics

September 7, 2012
Bill discusses the power of independent thinking with Senator Bernie Sanders and Green Party candidates Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala.
 
You can also get in on an online chat with Bernie Sanders, the the longest serving Congressional independent in American history and elf-described democratic socialist, on the Moyers program tomorrow, Sept. 11 at 2:30 PM ET.
Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous Mind:  "I think the two parties are doing a good job only at what they are designed to do: beat the other party. I think they are doing a terrible job of addressing the nation’s problems."   See Mickey Edwards’ new book, The Parties vs. The People [excerpts] for more on how this came to be.

The things that matter have been reduced in this country. There are two political parties, there are a handful of insurance companies, there are about six or seven information outlets, but if you want a bagel, there are twenty-three flavors. -- George Carlin
