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.

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.
