Description
Series Description
MOYERS & COMPANY is a weekly series aimed at helping viewers make sense of our tumultuous times through the insight of America's strongest thinkers. The program also features Moyers hallmark essays on democracy.
Segment Description
We, the People, don't control our leaders; moneyed interests get their way. John Nichols, the Washington correspondent for THE NATION, and Robert McChesney, a leading scholar of communications and society and a professor at the University of Illinois, join Bill Moyers to talk about media, money and politics. Together, ten years ago, they were founding figures of the media reform movement, Free Press. Their latest book is DOLLAROCRACY: HOW THE MONEY AND MEDIA ELECTION COMPLEX IS DESTROYING AMERICA. McChesney says, "'Dollarocracy' means the rule of the dollars. One dollar, one vote. Those with lots of dollars have lots of power. Those with no dollars have no power."
Segment Description
And, Executive director of the National Lawyers Guild Heidi Boghosian joins Bill Moyers for a conversation on surveillance and her book, SPYING ON DEMOCRACY: GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE, CORPORATE POWER, AND PUBLIC RESISTANCE.
