Bill Moyers To Sign Off Tonight.
Bill Moyers, long time journalist, former Baptist Minister, Documentary Filmmaker, and aide to President Lyndon Johnson will sign off from nearly a half century of amazing journalism. NOW, a PBS show which he founded in 2002, is one of the last bastions of real journalism on television. The stories went beyond the entertainment of nearly all of broadcast news these days, uncovering the real truth about the workings of government, corporations, etc... NOW will continue, albeit in a amended form, with co-host David Brancaccio. Bill Moyers will be missed. Now some of you journalists out there who are too scared to do your job, get out there and do it. We need you and now!!!
Read the Nation's tribute to Bill Moyers here.
"In a time of farce and tragedy, Bill Moyers did his best to arm the people with the power knowledge gives and to affirm that there's still a place for TV journalism that nurtures citizenship and democracy." The Nation
