Your last comment, as you finish off your show, a progressive reasoned voice that has no substitute in the current pool of journalists.
Plutocracy is not an American word but it's become an American phenomenon. Back in the fall of 2005, the Wall Street giant Citigroup even coined a variation on it, plutonomy, an economic system where the privileged few make sure the rich get richer with government on their side. By the next spring, Citigroup decided the time had come to publicly "bang the drum on plutonomy."
The comment in the intro was your last, as you head to a well deserved retirement. It was typical of those throughout your career.
A sad loss to our regular programming:
One of the last journalists that I trust implicitly, one of the courageous few to tell it like it is, a balanced and strong voice for our side of the aisle.
Mr Moyers I will miss above all your impeccable honesty.
A true inheritor of the Ed Murrow school of truth telling.
One of his great moments
His fairness in listening to what is said, not what is heard.
Putting the facts straight, since he was there.
I cant tell you how sad I am to see you go, where will find such a fine and reasoned voice?
My one hope is that you will inspire someone else to forge a career such as yours.
Bye Bill, as I shed a few tears.
