The Bill Moyers interview with Reverend Wright last Friday night (WATCH), the first interview since the controversy erupted, Moyers engaged Wright in a conversation and gave him a chance to defend himself. Wright said to Moyers that he has been the target of a smear campaign:
“I felt it was unfair. I felt it was unjust. I felt it was untrue. I felt that those who were doing that were doing it for some devious reasons.”
