As with most 'progressives', no real reason why. (Try - "Cause the hippie generation is over. It's time to move on.")
Very left.
Charlie Rose deserves all the plaudits Moyers gets.
75 years old. I didn’t think he was that old.......
These guys sure don’t like to hang it up.
What a loss!
First Oprah, now Moyers. With the swelling of the conservative movement as seen from the Tea Party activity, conservative books filling the #1 spots, Fox News dominating cable, and of course AM talk radio, maybe they just see the handwriting on the wall.
2010 is going to be an interesting (but tiring) year!
Didn’t he already quit once and then came back? Liberals are like herpes....they never really go away.
Time for another broken down old liberal to retire. So long comrade.
Isnt he the homo-hating, drunk driving liberal that works for PBS?
LOL...
Bill Moyers is one of the oldest and worst of the leftists.
I would disagree about Oprah Winfrey. She is not politically sophisticated, but for the most part she has stood for traditional Christian values, with the proviso that she knows she has to avoid turning off the leftists who control the media.
It was a big shift for her when she jumped in the tank for Obama, and I think she did so not because she supports Communists, but because he is (half) black and she rather naively got taken in by his promise to bring an end to divisiveness and racism.
His real intention was just the opposite, as most of us saw before he was elected. Oprah was fooled and, like most other blacks, thought she saw a way to advance her people.
Her viewer numbers have been tanking this year, and I think that’s the reason. Because many fairly conservative women used to watch her show, and were turned off by her one-sided endorsement of Obama.
After 8 years of solid conservative bashing, Moyers can’t bear to see the monster he has helped create go down in flames.
Hey Bill, If you liked the health care bill - you’ll love cap and trade. ;o)
Cheney/Cheney ‘12!
"... and haven't had an original thought in three quarters of a century."
But they aren't exactly leftist in the same way, are they?
A lot of what Oprah talks about isn't political at all, whereas Moyers is all liberal spin all the time.
On the other hand, she did elect a president, while Moyers is just spinning his wheels in the mud, complaining about things ...
GOOD
Can’t stand him he always on KCET Channel 28 and their digtal channel over and over again
