    Although we’ve only been back on the air for a couple of months, in your letters, e-mails and webpage comments a single theme emerges time and again – thank you for the reporting, for the interviews and for your commentary, you tell us, but the problems seem so insurmountable, the forces arrayed against us so large, what can I do, as one person, to make a difference?

    The traveling medicine show known as the race for the Republican presidential nomination has moved on from Iowa and New Hampshire, and all eyes are now on South Carolina. Well, not exactly all. At the moment, our eyes are fixed on some big news from the great state of Oklahoma, home of the legendary American folk singer Woody Guthrie, whose 100th birthday will be celebrated later this year.

    Like Jake LaMotta and his brother Joey in the bloody boxing classic Raging Bull, we are gluttons for punishment. So here we are again, third week in a row, defending NPR against the bare-knuckled assault of its critics.

  • Published How Howard Zinn Would Face Today (Blog entry)
    November 2, 2010 - 12:43am

    Moyers delivered this speech October 29, 2010, as part of the Howard Zinn Lecture Series at Boston University.

    I was honored when you asked me to join in celebrating Howard Zinn’s life and legacy. I was also surprised. I am a journalist, not a historian. The difference between a journalist and an historian is that the historian knows the difference.

    These remarks were delivered at a dinner in Washington commemorating the 40th anniversary of Common Cause on October 6, 2010.

    Thank you for inviting me to join in this 40th anniversary of Common Cause. Your founder, John Gardner, profoundly influenced my life and I welcome this opportunity to share some memories of him.

  • Published The Unbearable Lightness of Reform (Blog entry)
    March 29, 2010 - 3:11pm

But reformation? Hardly.
