Who should replace Bill Moyers when he retires for real this time?

I doubt that PBS will replace him, They didn't last time. But if they did and you could pick his replacement, who would it be?
I have some names, but feel free to choose someone else and tell why briefly

+1. I might add that I have a strong adoration for Jim Hightower, but just not the same. nt adirondacker Oct 2014 #7

None of the people in the poll are remotely in his league.

And I was quite distressed when Keith Olbermann left his show, and every morning I wake up to Amy Goodman. But neither of them is very much like Moyers. No one should even attempt to replace him.

Democracy Now is 1hour 5 days per week and she controls the content. Not like on PBS which is increasingly moving to the right. I voted for Oberman but that will never happen.
