Bill Moyers Journal is an American television current affairs program that covered an array of current affairs and human issues, including but not limited to economics, history, literature, religion, philosophy, science, and most frequently politics. Originally, Bill Moyers executive produced, wrote and hosted the Journal. WNET in New York produced it and PBS aired it from 1972 to 1976.
In 1979, following a nearly three-year hiatus, many presidential members of PBS announced that Bill Moyers Journal would return for a second series. The second series covered a broader range of issues in depth. This included election coverage and documentary footage from several U.S. states, among them Florida, Texas, Illinois, D.C. and Nevada. In addition, among its pop-culture coverage, the Journal reported on the 25th anniversary of the premiere of the long-running NBC talk program The Tonight Show. Like the first installment, the second one was produced by WNET in New York City, and was aired on PBS. However, the second installment and consequently the series ended in 1981.
For the third time, Bill Moyers Journal returned to television on April 25, 2007. The debut episode was "Buying The War", which demonstrated how the commercial U.S. media served as an unwitting partner to the Bush administration in convincing the American people that the Iraq War was legitimate and necessary.

I guarantee you this show will open your eyes up to something new every week that it airs. Whether its about philosophy, politics, new books, ideas, etc. I could just go on and on. This show shows the importance of certain things and always gives you new perspectives. It shows you things that you would never see on network channels, CNN or Fox News. Some things might be startling and some maybe joyous and inspiring to watch. Most of all though it open your mind to wider scope of ideas and perspectives. It is a real eye opener but most of all a real mind opener. Everyone should watch and discuss what is on this show. This show will make you appreciate things that you never would think twice about. Here you know you are getting the truth and that is very hard to get and to get consistently. How could they even think of ever taking this man off the air!?
