Bill Moyers
Journalist, public commentator.

Other quotes by Bill Moyers.


“If the watchdog doesn’t bark, how do you know there’s a burglar in the basement? And the press is supposed to be a watchdog. I’ll put it another way: if you think that the fire department in your neighborhood is in collusion with the arsonist, you want to know about it. And the fact of the matter is, in the build-up to the [Iraq] war the watchdog didn’t bark and the fire department- in this case the press- was in cahoots with the arsonist.”
