Bill Moyers

Because there are so many worthy nominees, it is extremely rare that BuzzFlash awards the honor twice to the same person. But in the case of Bill Moyers, the exception is well-deserved.

Speaking at the third Conference for Media Reform on January 12, Moyers once again eloquently, passionately, and convincingly made the case for democratizing news coverage in America.

Moyers knows that the wellspring of our liberty swells from the bottom up – not the top down. The media should represent the diversity of American opinion and the broad range of our citizenry; it should not tell us what our outlook should be.

In short, Moyers envisions a media that serves the people, not its corporate owners and the status quo interests of the entrenched powers in D.C.

Democracy needs to be nurtured, not patronized.

The winning BuzzFlash reader who nominated Moyers called him a jet plane for justice – and indeed he is.

For that, he merits this week's BuzzFlash "Wings of Justice Award."
