Moyers to retire, a great loss

On Friday, November 20th, Bill Moyers announced that he will retire from regularly weekly reporting on TV next April. Let's hope the important work Moyers has done investigating the doings of our government will continue.
In a great speech he delivered at a conference on education in 2007, Moyers said "The job of trying to tell the truth about people whose job it is to hide the truth is almost as complicated as trying to hide it in the first place. One of my mentors told me that 'news is what people want to keep hidden; everything else is publicity.' "
The speech is from the book "Moyers on Democracy."
