Few people have embodied the best of journalism—its ability to cut through BS, its capacity to uplift those who’ve been wronged, its burning appetite to tell the stories people need to know—like Bill Moyers.

We’ve never needed him more, writes @monikab.bsky.social.

It's... a thing to find out #BillMoyers has passed.

For both #Boomers and #GenX Moyers was an American icon of politics and news. Most of my generation discovered him through his interviews with #JosephCampbell in the late 80s. And then he helped us see the world.

Goodnight, Bill; travel well.

I was temping at CBS News in the 80s when Bill came at the close of the nightly news to read his commentary. Immediately after the show, cameras off, I was heartened as he asked the crew and janitors and me - if his message was clear & made sense.
It was touching.
Never forgot.

#RickSteves on #BillMoyers. Snip: “Bill Moyers (1934–2025) ..Moyers .. helping to guide President Johnson’s #GreatSociety legislation .. (.. to eliminate poverty, reduce racial injustice, and expand social welfare); a brave voice of progressive reason .. PBS journalism .. interviewer.. (c Alt-Txts)
“Bill Moyers (1934–2025) At my age, more people who’ve inspired me seem to be dying. Occasionally, the news wallops me extra hard — as with the passing of Bill Moyers. And then, reading memorials celebrating that individual’s life, I realize they had a bigger and more intimate impact on me than I had fully appreciated. Yes, Bill Moyers was such a person. Moyers was a key player in helping to guide President Johnson’s Great Society legislation in the 1960s (an ambitious program to eliminate poverty, reduce racial injustice, and expand social welfare); a brave voice of progressive reason during the Bush years; and long the face of quiet yet thoughtful PBS journalism until he retired from television in 2015. With his strong faith, big heart, brilliance as a brainy interviewer, and the way he encouraged me in my teaching, Bill was my mentor and friend. About the same age as my dad, he was a kind of intellectual father to me. Reading the various memorials and sorting through my emotions in the wake of Bill’s passing, I realize we had a lot in common: In the late 1970s, we both spoke out against big corporations selling baby formula to mothers in extremely poor countries. Fearing a loss of advertisers, CBS told Bill to tone it down. Calling out Nestlé’s deceptive campaign to con African mothers into buying its baby formula rather than nursing was one of my earliest political causes. At a lecture I gave for the Everett Herald (where I wrote a weekly travel column), they, fearing a loss of advertisers, forbade me from handing out my travel newsletter with an editorial page on that topic. (I remember the frustration of that moment — how ripping out that page so everyone attending the talk could still receive my newsletter taught me poignantly how corporate money shapes media, which shapes public perception.) Bill and I both deeply believed in the societal value of non-corporate broadcasting... public broadcasting. I never heard anyone talk “mission” on a pledge drive like Bill. He raised the bar and greatly inspired me for 20 years of producing and hosting pledge specials. Like Fred Rogers, Bill was ordained as a minister. These “PBS evangelicals,” both heroes of mine, chose media rather than a single church for their calling and spoke softly but effectively from their secular TV pulpits. I like to think that this work is a gentle yet strong way to both employ and share my faith at the same time (as I imagine Fred and Bill did). Bill was more interested in inspiring moral growth in the hope of creating a more just society than in promoting a particular political position. As he put it, “For someone with intellectual curiosity, life is a wonderful, perpetual and eternal university.” He spent several years (which he considered the happiest of his life) helping to create the Peace Corps (which was designed to export the best of American values). And in 1964, as a key player in shaping President Johnson’s Great Society program, he helped expand the role of government to address poverty, health care, education, and civil rights in America (exactly what President Trump is trying to undo today). Bill Moyers spoke boldly about U.S. involvement in Central America during the Contra-Sandinista era. This helped inspire me to travel there in the late 1980s, and to write and publish my “Banana-ology” journal called “There’s Blood on Your Banana” — www.ricksteves.com/travel-blogs/more/bananaology — which I then personally delivered to the office of nearly every member of Congress in a valiant if knowingly futile effort to wake people up to the injustices of U.S. policies south of our border. Moyers was so effective at shining a light on this issue that, even back then, it drove Republican efforts to defund PBS. It came with the greatest compliment I’d ever received as a TV producer — and from the man I respected so much. In that letter (printed in full in the comments section, below), Bill wrote, “Your engagement reminds us of how the medium of TV can serve the larger community and, as Murrow said, be more than ‘wires in a box.’” I have so much admiration for the value of media to do good, that receiving this Edward R. Murrow quote from Bill Moyers in reference to our TV work nearly brought me to tears. That he took time to handwrite and mail it to me in the midst of his busy and important life was just another way I was inspired by my mentor. When I first wrote my “Travel as a Political Act” book, I felt I needed to make a pilgrimage to New York to personally give Bill a copy. He made time to welcome me into his NYC office and — both of us evangelical about sharing our take on the challenges confronting our society and the tantalizing potential of America becoming more of a force for good — we exchanged our latest books: He gave me a collection of his most impactful interviews, and I gave him a collection of my greatest lessons from the road. Just as I was getting more serious about my support for Bread for the World (a Christian citizens’ movement that lobbies our government for funding to fight hunger), I learned that Bill was one of Bread’s most generous and impactful supporters. He understood that hunger across the sea was just as real as hunger across the street .. BTW, if there’s one thing you could do in memory of Bill Moyers, it would be to raise a political ruckus with your senator or representative about de-funding USAID, letting the Voice of America become the Voice of China, and un-plugging American soft power abroad. (For guidance on how, click here: https://go.bread.org/page/80018/action/1?ea.tracking.id=secondhomepageblock&_gl=1*ppwws9*_gcl_au*OTc4OTMxMTAwLjE3NDkxMzk5ODM .) As a journalist, Bill was evangelical about exposing systemic and structural injustices. He pursued the kind of stories that reach deeply into our everyday lives, as America works its way through challenges that may be daunting but shouldn’t be out of reach. He eventually moved from PBS to CBS, but as an ethical journalist, his frustrations with CBS’s need to keep advertisers happy and unthreatened eventually drove Bill out of commercial news and back into public broadcasting. Even during visits in his last years, I appreciated how Bill and Judith saw the world through a lens of social justice and were committed to raising awareness about societal challenges. For example, once, when apologizing for the construction mess caused by work going on in their building, they pointed out that it couldn’t start until 10 a.m. because, with the low wages for the workers and the high cost of living in New York City, anyone doing such labor likely had a two-hour commute. ..As for legacy, I know he inspired a generation of caring Americans with his courage, wit, faith-based compassion, and his drive to bring out the best in America. Think of the battles for the public good and for the ideals of America that he tirelessly championed: from his days as a student intern for then-Senator Lyndon B. Johnson to his role as a trusted White House advisor and then as a venerable talking head in a class with Walter Cronkite well into his 80s... think of all the good Bill made possible. And I can’t help but reflect on how an angry, confused, and frightened public today has enabled a president who can roll back so much of that hard-earned societal progress with a few dozen hateful strokes of an executive pen. In spite of it all, I’m sure Bill would say that the ideals of America can survive and we must proceed — in solidarity — with a determined faith that a #GreatSociety is still worth fighting for.“
