As Bill Moyers often has said, “News is what people want to keep hidden. Everything else is publicity.” Throughout his journalism career, Bill and his team have investigated how all too often our government has tried to conceal its most dubious and even illegal actions behind an obfuscating fogbank of bureaucracy, diversion, prevarication and secrecy. Whatever you think our officials are doing, they’re usually doing something worse. From the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 through Watergate, the Iran contra scandals and the build up to war in Iraq, this collection of Moyers programming exposes the truth behind the deception.
