What happens when America's airwaves fill with hate? BILL
MOYERS JOURNAL takes a tough look at the hostile industry of
"shock jock" media with a hard-hitting examination of its effects
on our nation's political discourse. The JOURNAL traveled to
Knoxville, where a recent shooting at the Tennessee Valley
Unitarian Universalist Church has left the pastor asking what role
hateful speech from popular right-wing media personalities may have
played in the tragedy. "A lot of people are hurling insults from
the safety of television studios, the safety of radio studio, the
safety of cyberspace," says Rev. Chris Buice, "So that's a void in
our community - the chance to be in the same room and to have these
exchanges and remember the humanity of the person on the other
side."
