Well, yes, it is true because Moyers has aired a tremendous report on how the Senate under the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid beat back a masterful legislative manuever by Sen. Jim DeMint, R-SC, to force public disclosure of earmarks. The segment focuses heavily on DeMint and the Seatlle Times excellent expose last year of the earmark racket in defense spending.
The segment is a little long but it tells the story thoroughly of how Reid and the rest of the earmarkers used legislative fraud to mislead the American people. Well worth the time.
