He had a fine speaking voice.
That’s about as far as I can go

That he was the mouthpiece for the weasel LBJ is all you need to know.

Someday we might know the CIA backgrounds of some of these “journalists.”

Ordained Baptist clergy who soiled himself in the Johnson Administration (Lyndon not Mike).

Identified with the LBJ Mafia later a repentant PBS proclaimer of self-righteous liberalism but still later an alcoholic working on recovery.

He had a life story.

I liked Moyers back in the 1970s. He had a folksy delivery and a laid back vibe, no doubt a heritage of his upbringing in Marshall, Texas.

Over time he mutated into one of the most vile, hate-filled and ignorant commentators in the media. Kind of like a slightly subdued Keith Olbermann.

Rest in peace, Bill.

and then went on to a long and celebrated career as a broadcast journalist infamous career as an arrogant liberal blowhard.

Fixed it.

Didn’t agree with him but definitely a memorable fixture of pre-Internet 80’s political media along with the McLaughlin Group, McNeil-Lehrer Report, Firing Line etc.

Unfortunately if he’s with his former boss right now, the heat’s a little more intense than he grew up with in Texas.

I recall Moyers somewhat. I don’t know if he was a hard L Liberal like Cronkite or not. His tenure was before I began really paying attention to each individual talking head.
Dan Rathers, I do know about, as he tended to make news more often.

He was born in Oklahoma where his family was from. He was just as evil as his boss, Lyndon Johnson.

I had already forgotten about him until this news of his passing. I imagine it won’t take too long before I’ve forgotten about him all over again.
