Some of us here have had the pleasure of working with Bill Moyers in the past few years (and the Schumann Center for Media and Democracy, which Bill heads, is one of our funders). This commentary about him, by Neal Gabler in the LA Times, beautifully states what many of us here felt when Moyers recently announced that he was mothballing his weekly TV show:

There really is no place for quiet truth on television anymore, only shouted opinions; no place for speaking truth to power, only repeating what power dictates; no place for morality, only strict, self-righteous moralism. That is America's loss.
