Here’s what other Americans have written about the efforts and talent of Bill Moyers.
“I am very saddened to hear Bill Moyers is leaving PBS…he will be difficult to replace…his insightfulness and caring was demonstrated in all his programs…he sought for truth and goodness…rare in TV.” — Moira
“I am devastated. I can only hope that a “review and reinvention†of its news and public affairs programming doesn’t mean a dumbing down.”  — Susan Kohler
“Bill Moyers and his colleagues, indeed, his body of work and his association with a number of people like Betty Sue Flowers, –they are a national treasure. I have learned more about journalism and politics from him than anyone outside the college and university setting. I try to pass that on to my students. He made a difference. Not many can say that in his field. He will be missed. If he doesn’t continue working, I am comfortable with knowing that he will continue thinking.”  — Jaye Ramsey Sutter
“I truly believe Bill Moyers is a wise man among wise men. And his show was in its absolute prime. As the crises in this country began to mount in the last year, Moyers stepped up to provide great coverage, as well as insight you simply could not find anywhere else. I feel like I was just getting to know him…”  — Steve M.
“With the imminent disappearance of “Bill Moyers Journal†and “Now on PBS,†PBS is on the verge of a long downhill slide into irrelevance.”  — Payne
America is loosing the best objective journalist in the business. While the masses will focus on the retirement news of Oprah, those of us who pay close attention to the reporting of truthful news will be dealt a major blow when Bill Moyers walks from the corrupted fray. — Admin

Even though I found much of his book about Genesis disturbing, he was very fair with allowing differing points of view to be heard, which is what a good journalist should do. He will be missed.
Sorry. I didn't realize that the first time went through.
The thing about Moyers, though, if I remember correctly, was that Bill O'Reilley did a report on him once and, if I remember correctly, there was a controversy about Moyers receiving a percentage of the sales of videos of his PBS programs (which supposedly wasn't legal, if I recall). I was never sure if there was something to it, but it always seemed a little bit fishy to me.
