How many lies were told during this news conference and who spread them? Did you know that The Associated Press has been told to stay out, but TASS, the Russian propaganda network, was there? We went from Camelot, to the shining city upon on a hill, to a poisson pill. The problem is that many news organizations are no longer run as a public service and owned and operated by journalists. They’re run by people looking to make a profit they don't care about the truth or journalism or accuracy. The nonprofits like The AP are being marginalized.

Gene Hackman was once on top of the world.

"Yes, ma'am" is a polite way of affirming something said to a superior woman, and often used to show respect or enthusiasm. 

As the father of two intelligent ladies and granddad to four smart and gorgeous gals, I realize this is the way to stay current. 

The beginning of the end and the first day of the rest of my career. which took me to USIA-TV, Univision, and Telemundo to drop a few names.

I began my journalism career as an unpaid student intern at The Washington Post-Newsweek owned WPLG on the heels of Watergate. succeeded by Richard Nixon, Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 38th president of the United States from 1974 to 1977.

I sought and achied early retirement from  The Associated Press, the world's oldest nonprofit news cooperative nearly five decades later when the GOP was still running the circus.

In 1999, before the millennium, I was hired by The Associated Press to help establish APTN North America and run the Television News Bureau. In 2005 I requested and received early retirement when I felt it was perfect timing and I had given all to news gathering . If we have the ambition and drive, then we must continue on. At 65, anyone can retire, but we can give back to society in many ways. Be on a teacher, or a mentor.. However we feel we can contribute. Life does not end at retirement. I transformed it into a new beginning.

I was a legal immigrant and now an American citizen who was recruited and worked for POTUS . You are also one, or probably the descendant of an immigrant. Do some research and you will learn the real truth about your ancestors.
