Saying that people have been encouraging him to get back into the mix and tell stories and represent voices that aren't being heard, Bill Moyers decided to return to PBS to host a weekly public affairs series with the former public television series "Bill Moyers Journal."
Moyers said that "People keep writing or stopping me on the street to suggest stories that are not being reported and voices that are not being heard. A lot of Americans long for more than conventional wisdom, celebrity pundits, predictable opinions and safe analysis of the obvious."
He added that when he did two specials for PBS last year, it got him interested in 
doing more.
Moyers has been controversial and accused of using taxpayer dollars to encourage his political agenda. He left his last weekly series called "Now with Bill Moyers," in 2004 when the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which distributes tax dollars to PBS, was making sure that the show wasn't promoting Moyers' political agenda with public funds.
Why do you not say that Moyers' accuser, public broadcasting chair Ken Tomlinson, was thoroughly discredited?
After all, he had to quit that post, and then the one he took thereafter: http://www.pbs.org/ombudsman/2006/05/hes_back_moyers_not_tomlinson.html
