"that politics failed and we wound up in the Civil War, from which we still haven’t recovered.… Being a Southerner informed me about what happens when a society closes the wagons around itself, when it doesn’t tolerate good journalism or prophecy in the pulpit or truth-telling in the classroom."
-
Alterman quotes an interview Moyers did with Salon in 2003:
"I think my life, and certainly my career in journalism, have been informed by two things. One was being a Southerner. Whenever you learned about Southern life, you realize that when we drove the truth-tellers out of the pulpits, out of the editorial rooms and out of the classrooms—people who were telling the truth about slavery—"

Eric Alterman offers a touching reminiscence of his friend journalist Bill Moyers, noting:
"This ordained Baptist minister from a little town called Marshall, Texas, somehow became, for most practical purposes, my rabbi."
Alterman asks where Moyers got the fortitude to stick to his difficult and solitary path when he was very much a voice crying in the wilderness, especially in his native South.

#BillMoyers Dead: Elder Statesman of #PBS #Journalists Was 91
Bill #Moyers , who carried an unblemished air of moral conviction throughout a 43-year career as an unapologetically liberal #journalist, mostly for PBS, died Thursday in Manhattan. He was 91.
Like his protege #CharlieRose, Moyers was characterized by an insatiable and wide-ranging intellectual curiosity, but he was deeply concerned not only with how things are but how they should be.

The TX #Democrat had given #BillMoyers a summer job in his #Senate office in 1954 when Moyers was in college. [how most #lawyers get started—E.G., my (Nonilex) dad after his 2nd yr of #law school, worked for then-General #Shriver’s nascent #HeadStart program].
Moyers arrived on Capitol Hill &, w/o even unpacking his bags, worked through the night addressing 275k envelopes using a foot-operated “addressograph” machine. By the end of the summer, he was handling Johnson’s personal correspondence.

#BillMoyers, who served as #press secy to President #LyndonJohnson & then, for >40 years, as a broadcast #journalist known for bringing ideas—both timely & timeless—to TV, died June 26 at a hospital in Manhattan. He was 91.
The cause was complications from prostate #cancer, said his son, William Cope Moyers. Long before he became a grandee of #PublicTelevision, the #Texas-born Moyers was a top aide &, by many accounts, a surrogate son to Johnson. -
In 1973, Walter Cronkite, TV's most influential newsman, sat down for a conversation with Bill Moyers, reflecting on his life and career.
Cronkite considered the essential question: What would you like to be remembered for?
