 == Thompson article...Thanks for the comment == 

 I am personally not a big fan of Moyers but meh. He has taken some particular heat on his ALEC piece. He is criticised for helping fund the campaign against ALEC and then ""reporting"" on ALEC. That is why I think his use as source is tainted in this case. 

 ""The Society of Professional Journalists  Code of Ethic expressly states that journalists should avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived ; and that they should remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility, and, furthermore, that journalists should shun secondary employment, political involvement if they compromise journalistic integrity. 
  	  	  
 Moyers heads the Schumann Center for Media and Democracy, which has given away $1,360,000 to groups leading the attack on ALEC. That point was ignored in four stories written about ALEC on Moyers website in 2012, even though Moyers has been criticized for his connections in the past."" 

 For what its worth.   "
