Setting The Record Straight
"Telling the whole truth is not an exercise to be limited to children before they reach the age of reason. It is the indispensable requirement for an effective democracy. If the press and the politicians lie to the people, or hide those parts of the truth which trouble the conscience or offend a friend, how can the people’s falsely-based decisions be trusted?
... what matters in journalism is not how close you are to power but how close you are to the truth."

Thank you Bill Moyers for your wonderful contributions to journalism and for telling the truth. I love these additional wonderful quotes from your article:
"No matter the players, one-party government is a conspiracy in disguise."
"their loathing of other people is the kindling of evil.""
