SINCE MCCARTHYISM...AMERICA HAS BEEN WITHOUT PUBLIC INTELLECTUALS...
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME PITIFUL ATTEMPTS TO PASS OFF FAKE INTELLECTUALS, LIKE TOM FRIEDMAN OR DAVID BROOKS AT THE TIMES,... BUT, THEY ARE TRULY PATHETIC...AND ALMOST UNREADABLE FROM THE STAND POINT OF "TRUTH TELLING."
PAUL KRUGMAN IS THE ONLY PERSON, OTHER THAN MOYERS, WHO IS ALLOWED BY THE ESTABLISHMENT TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC...
BUT EVEN THESE TWO HAVE TO KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT ABOUT THE INFLUENCE OF THE ISRAEL LOBBY IN US FOREIGN POLICY...
THERE IS MS DOWD WHO'SE CRITIQUES ARE BARBED AND FEMINIST IN ORIENTATION...
AND THEN THERE ARE THE CABLE TV "FUNNY MEN" WHO BY PLAYING THE SHAKESPEAREAN FOOL... GET AWAY WITH MORE THAN SOME OTHERS MIGHT...
BILL MOYERS IS A NATIONAL TREASURE...AT A TIME WHEN THE US IS VERY NEAR INTELLECTUAL BANKRUPTCY... HE COULD BECOME THE SPOKESPERSON FOR THE COMING PROGRESSIVE ERA...
