The ongoing debate over healthcare reform has made a battle zone of Capitol Hill. In this edition of the Journal, Bill Moyers and expert analysts Trudy Lieberman and Marcia Angell examine the partisan messages that have emerged from the crossfire to gauge who is playing politics to manipulate—and possibly derail—meaningful reform. The Journal then revisits the question of how popular right-wing media personalities affect the nation’s political discourse with a report on what role hate speech may have played in last year’s tragic shooting at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. Broadcast date: July 24, 2009. (57 minutes)
