Sad News...

Bill Moyers is leaving PBS after the November election. He's going to write a book on Lyndon Johnson.

I TiVo NOW every Friday. Every Saturday afternoon when I sit down and watch it, I wonder why this show isn't on network television (ditto The News Hour). David Brancaccio is a surprisingly good interviewer (I used to watch him on a local L.A. show, Life and Times, and found him to be an annoying Republican), but he needs to stop mugging for the camera in his reaction shots.

Mr. Moyers, please do television one last service before you leave: teach Brancaccio how to edit an interview.
