==PBS harangues==
Moyers has remained employed for more than four decades by the public-sector funded [[Corporation for Public Broadcasting]], an entity created during the Johnson administration by a [[Democratic]] controlled Congress. He is a [[liberal]] [[journalist]] and currently hosts [[PBS]]'s show ''Bill Moyers' Journal'', a forum for attack on Republicans and conservatism which espouses envy as a popular virtue. He became an ordained [[Baptist]] [[minister]] almost 50 years ago. Moyers has a lot of liberal political views, such as [[democratic socialism]] and support for [[gay rights]].
