Moyers to Return to PBS With Weekly Show

<SNIP> PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Bill Moyers is returning to PBS in April with a weekly public affairs series, "Bill Moyers Journal," that resurrects the name of his first public television series for a new century.

Moyers, 72, did two specials for PBS last year, and both the work and response "whetted my appetite for more."

"People keep writing or stopping me on the street to suggest stories that are not being reported and voices that are not being heard," said the former press secretary for President Lyndon Johnson. "A lot of Americans long for more than conventional wisdom, celebrity pundits, predictable opinions and safe analysis of the obvious."

The first episode on April 25 discusses the role of the press before the invasion of Iraq.

YAY!! He's back!!

2. The PBS commercial said the first episode is on Abramoff and Delay

either way I can't wait.

3. Once that right wing hack Tomlinson got forced out

due to the inevitable right wing looting scandals, I was hoping Moyers would return. "NOW" is still a great program, but the combination of restriction to a half hour plus unfortunate scheduling (behind a deadly dull right wing biased local talking head show here) have caused it to decline greatly from the original.

I just hope Stupid's handlers don't manage to find a similar hack to torpedo the whole thing again. At least now we're looking at only two more years of oppression, max.

4. WOW!

Thanks for posting.

This is wonderful news. A real Edward R. Murrow turning point moment in our recent MSM history.

Almost as wonderful as an executive branch mass resignation.
