Bill Moyers, Elder Statesman of PBS Journalists, Dies at 91
Bill Moyers, who carried an unblemished air of moral conviction throughout a 43-year career at PBS, has died. He was 91.
Bill Moyers, who carried an unblemished air of moral conviction throughout a 43-year career as a broadcast journalist, mostly in his later years for PBS, died Thursday in Manhattan, the New York Times reported. Conservatives attacked the documentary, which was long cited as evidence of liberal bias at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PBS and thus as part of the Republican argument for shuttering the pubcaster. Circulation increased and the publication won two Pulitzer Prizes, but the owner, conservative Harry Guggenheim, was unhappy with the paper’s shift to the left, and he and Moyers were divided over the Vietnam War and the 1968 presidential election.
