Bill Moyers: "What's the Situation?"

One of the most trusted and beloved figures in American journalism, Bill Moyers has been both observer and participant in the most important social movements of our times.   As Special Assistant, Press Secretary, and confidant of President Lyndon B. Johnson, he was a prime architect of the social programs known as the Great Society.  Ordained as a Baptist pastor, and often called “America’s conscience,” Moyers has taken on subjects as diverse as income inequality, biased news reporting, Constitutional crises, and racism.
