Remembering acclaimed public TV journalist Bill Moyers

[Uncle Joe]

Bill Moyers, a legend in the world of journalism and a longtime member of the extended PBS family, died Thursday at the age of 91. Moyers was perhaps best known for his long-running programs and documentaries he produced at PBS. Some of those programs included the weekly "Bill Moyers Journal," and documentary series, including "Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth," which drew 30 million viewers.

1. He was excellent

2. My dad and I would watch his Friday evening show

Great memories of becoming aware of politics as I was growing up. He reminded me of Dad in his calm, scholarly analysis. Truly a wise man ... a real loss. I seem to recall that he worked in the Johnson administration (?).

3. Art of follow-up question

It appears a lot of the journalists do not know how to ask a follow-up question.

For example:

Trump says Nobel Prizes are given to liberals.

Wrong.

Menachem Begin got the Nobel Peace Prize and he was no liberal.

Moyers had a lot of good follow-up questions in his interviews.

5. Bill Moyers was the point of the spear during the Bush years

He was the best at sticking it to baby Bush. The Dumbocrats failed at how to replace him. The Dems relied on dumb and not making their own luck
