Who is the "Propagandist"?

How the administration marketed the war to the American people has been well covered, but critical questions remain: How and why did the press buy it, and what does it say about the role of journalists in helping the public sort out fact from propaganda?
This is the question Bill Moyers asked in his latest documentary documentary "Buying the War" (you can watch it at full length here.) The segment below features the journalists of Knight Ridder and how they covered the lead up to war correctly, when all others got it wrong.
This documentary must be the the work of the "Far left"? Well it is! according to Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin, Bill Moyers is a "Propagandist"...Listen to Malkin attempt to discredit Moyers in the clip below and to your left. The clip on the right (also from Fox News) consists of Sean Hannity complaining that his Tax Dollars produce PBS "Propaganda". This might be a wise moment to note more Americans Trust PBS over Fox News.

I get the feeling Hannity is trying make my head explode, currently Irony bleeds from my eyes. You see, Sean is complaining about the Tax Dollars he spent that allowed PBS to produce a documentary that analyzes how the media contributed to a war that could reach the price tag of $456 Billion. I think Sean Hannity needs to get his priorities straight. I guess it's easier to fight the "far left" PBS instead of questioning the Government that mislead America to war?
Maybe I have a soft spot for Bill Moyers, he has been a hero of mine for some time. Fox News concentrates on smearing the character of an American media icon instead of listening to the issue he is presenting.

Oh.. If you are interested in seeing where you Tax Dollars are going I found this fun map titled "Death and Taxes"
