Bill Moyers Visits HuffPost, Talks Inner Life And Purpose

When veteran journalist Bill Moyers visited The Huffington Post Friday, he didn't just talk politics and current affairs; the public television giant also talked metaphors and inner life.

That's because Moyers -- who attended divinity school -- counts spirituality as an area of great interest, describing his interview series with Joseph Campbell, the Power of Myth, as one of his most successful and meaningful series to date.

For more of Moyers' thoughts on the importance of guiding metaphors in life, check out the videos below.

Moyers is a rabid anti Semite here he is tonight on television talking about Israel's risking their relationship with U.S. idf they pursue a possible strike against nuclear iran Israel thankfully destroyed the nuclear facility in iraq, they defended themselves against hateful arabs who dont want a democracy anywhere in ME it would mean a free press, elections and then toppling of regimes and monarchies. moyers has a Jewish problem and has demonstrated this repeatedly he wants to see Isreal crippled and beholden to only U.S. policy Israel our only friend in the ME yet moyers never supports Israel..no wonder PBS didnt allow him to return and is now on a marginal cable station. moyers is a self hating individual a failed commentator who everyone laughs at now he is irrelevant as he has always been

I'm watching Moyer's return on PBS. It's about the death of the middle class, and the role our elected officials have played in it . . . in BOTH parties! Why do we continue to tolerate this economic assault.

the huffington post does not employ journalist. they employ people that have know how to copy and paste stories from "real" journalists then just repost it on their site. its usually a day or 2 behind. my favorite part is when they don't give credit to the real journalists that wrote the story. huffington post is living the american dream - steal from others and pass it off as your own to get ahead

This may be true. The most disgraceful part is the only have one side of the story, Left. True journalism is to report fact, not facts that push a story to one side or the other , but true facts. Let the public then decide.

I wish someone could get me a contact with Bill Moyers. I have Black Elk of Black Elk Speaks in 7 of my nine books. 3 are Harper/Collins published, one 44 times re-printed (Mother Earth Spirituality). I would like him to do an interview how the Sioux, despite the Federal imposed Religious Ban instigated by Unconstitutional Organized Religion who lobbied Congress still maintained their Spirituality and now have mostly gone back to their Earth respecting Way. It is quite a meaningful and encouraging story. Ed McGaa, Oglala Sioux, OST 15287

Your publisher Harper/Collins should be able to make contact easily. A bit of googling would turn up other avenues of contact.

I own the Power of Myth since years and watch it over and over again. Every Friday I miss Bill Moyers on PBS. There is no replacement in sight.

Thank goodness, with people like this misleading the public, it will be a blessing he is not replaced. Soros will try however.

It makes me a bit sad to realize that the days of listening to Bill Moyers talking to the world's great thinkers are already in the past. I asked so many questions during that time and I still don't know if I answered any of them.

Thank you Bill Moyers.

Dear Mr Bill Moyers,

Please address how you were wrong about the 9/11 Truthers. Here is a reference specifically created by experts to educate media people,

The 9/11 Consensus Points
http://www.consensus911.org/the-911-consensus-points/

As a Truther I am deeply offended that you implied we were lying and I think you owe us a BIG apology. Your words,

"the “truthers” cherry-picked a few supposed “anomalies” to build an “inside-job” story line. Fortunately, this Big Lie never took hold in the public mind. "

I take that personally since I stood up for the truth and was really slammed. I think an apology and correction is the very least you can do now.
