What I'm mainly objecting to is his silly ambush journalism quests he sends his producers on. I agree, I’d call Moyers an anchor, and I don’t really watch him.

I don't watch much O'Reilly (but I do watch Moyers every Friday), and I must say that the format of both shows is not that different (Interview with talking heads, etc). Would you call Moyers a reporter or an anchor? O'Reilly deserves all the scorn we heap on him, but it's hard to find enough material to fill up a daily show. If Oreilly just had to do 30 minutes or 60 minutes a week, I bet he could produce an edgier meatier show. Ambush journalism, like access journalism, is easy to produce (and can be edited to show just the juicy stuff). To the editor belongs the power.
