Two broadcasts this week mark Bill Moyers' return to weekly television, two years after he left the PBS series Now. After Wednesday's special, in its time-slot premiere Friday (9 ET/PT, PBS), Bill Moyers Journal talks to Daily Show host Jon Stewart and political blogger Josh Marshall of talkingpointsmemo.com.

Stewart was a guest on Moyers' old PBS gig, and "we had the greatest response to him (compared with) any other guest," Moyers says. "That he is outside the Beltway gives him an independence that enables him to speak truth to power even when he's winking at it. He has a credibility with the public that very few guys inside the Beltway have anymore."

As for Marshall, Moyers says that by tapping into "citizen journalists," he has excelled in reporting on the scandal surrounding the firing of several U.S. attorneys. "I'm in old media, but I take my hat off to new media," Moyers says. "When you get a journalist like Marshall committed to getting people as close to the certifiable truth as possible, you begin to realize the potential of this medium."
