Bill Moyers Retires.

By Gene Ogorodov

Moyers and Co. recently released a statement by Bill Moyers saying that he would be leaving journalism. After decades of being the leading voice in Public Broadcasting for the common man, he leaves a void that will never again be filled by one person. 

Honesty, decency, and journalistic integrity have defined his career in an era where journalism has become increasingly about ratings and careerism. He was a kind soft voice that created the similitude of a personal report through the television screen who never shied away from asking the tough questions. 

People like Bill Moyers give us hope that through hard work we can live in a better world, a more just world, a world with a sense of humanity and common decency. Bill, you will be sorely missed.
