#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.

Thank you #HeatherCoxRichardson for putting things into perspective...
" On August 6th, Dr. King and Mrs. Boynton were guests of honor as President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Recalling the outrage of Selma, Johnson said, this right to vote is the basic right without which all others are meaningless. It gives people, people as individuals, control over their own destinies."
Let's not forget that of all the rights Americans enjoy, the #RightToVote is the most consequential!

.> One must not forget that this country was founded by religious fanatics. Since Jimmy Carter, religious fundamentalists play a major role in elections. He was the first president who made a point of exhibiting himself as a born again Christian. That sparked a little light in the minds of political campaign managers: Pretend to be a religious fanatic and you can pick up a third of the vote right away. Nobody asked whether Lyndon Johnson went to church every day. Bill Clinton is probably about as religious as I am, meaning zero, but his managers made a point of making sure that every Sunday morning he was in the Baptist church singing hymns.

.> Chomsky: Let us look at the “differences” more closely, and we recognize how limited and cynical they are. The hawks say, if we continue we can win. The doves say, it is costing us too much. But try to find an American politician who says frankly that this aggression is a crime: the issue is not whether we win or not, whether it is expensive or not. Remember the Russian invasion of Afghanistan? Did we have a debate whether the Russians can win the war or whether it is too expensive? This may have been the debate at the Kremlin, or in Pravda. But this is the kind of debate you would expect in a totalitarian society. If General Petraeus could achieve in Iraq what Putin achieved in Chechnya, he would be crowned king. The key question here is whether we apply the same standards to ourselves that we apply to others.
