We have seen for weeks the vitriolic YouTube out of context sound bits that have been played over and over again, with the devious intent of pouring salt in the wound of the racial divide that has historically plagued this nation. The media, which has very few minorities in any decision making or visible positions of power, has been duplicitous in presenting a one side view of a very thoughtful, educated and dedicated man.
Bill Moyers interviews the Reverend Jeremiah Wright in his first broadcast interview with a journalist since he became embroiled in a controversy for his remarks and his relationship with Barack Obama. Wright, who retired in early 2008 as pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where Senator Obama is a member, has been at the center of controversy for comments he made during sermons, which surfaced in the press in March.
