Now that Walter Cronkite is dead, very few living legends remain in American public life. One of them is Bill Moyers, who continues to interview intelligent guests and truth-tellers on his program on PBS. Moyers won me over when I saw his interviews with Joseph Campbell, and his broadcast that delved into the operations of the secret government back in the late 1980's. His current journal entries that seek to uncover cover-ups and the various crises we are in are very timely and admirable. He is a converted truth-teller, and there is a grace about him that I like. His program on PBS shows me that Moyers places truth and curiosity above all other things, which is a must for any journalist. Below is a video of Bill Moyers receiving the Emmy for Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. Mr. Cronkite was in attendance.
