The Peacock lacked a count. NBC News needed a responsible hombre who holds himself accountable. KUDOS to Cesar, The Count. Cesar Conde becomes the first Latino to lead a USA Based English language news division. His roots are Cuban and Peruvian, the Maya, Inca cradle of Latin American civilization.
Americans need to know the whole truth and nothing but, so help us, God. Why do we allow this to continue?
Why did Donald Trump move on from liers Roy Cohn to Michael Cohen as his attorney and fixers?
How did POTUS get here? It was Roy Marcus Cohn a gay-hating homosexual, and Jew-hater? Was he the presence of evil?

Senior executive management position in media education. With decades of experience producing and directing across commercial, nonprofit, government, and academic media organizations, including NBC, Univision, Telemundo, Voice of America, AP, and others.
I offer strategic oversight, editorial judgment, and cross-platform expertise needed to excel in this role.
Throughout my career spanning newscasts, public affairs programs, and long-form documentary news magazines in both English and Spanish, I have developed precisely the skill set PBS seeks: the ability to manage complex projects across multiple stakeholders, maintain rigorous editorial standards, and deliver compelling content that serves the public interest. My experience bridges the worlds of daily news production and documentary storytelling, positioning me to guide programming from development through final delivery.
As a news manager and field producer, I have consistently coordinated between editorial teams, technical departments, and external partners to ensure projects meet deadlines without compromising quality or standards. I understand the unique demands of working with independent producers, the importance of compliance review, and the value of proactive communication across departments—from legal and standards to digital and promotional teams. My multilingual capabilities and work across diverse media environments have given me a nuanced understanding of content development, audience needs, and the careful attention required when handling sensitive or complex subject matter.
What draws me to PBS is the organization's unwavering commitment to substantive journalism, educational programming, and stories that deepen public understanding of our world. After years in commercial broadcasting, I am eager to apply my expertise to programming that prioritizes depth over ratings, context over speed, and public service over profit. The opportunity to work on PBS's distinguished slate of news, current affairs, and history programs—from investigative documentaries to historical explorations—aligns perfectly with my professional values and experience.
I am particularly equipped to serve as the critical bridge between producers and PBS's internal departments, having spent years navigating the complexities of multi-departmental coordination in fast-paced newsrooms. I bring strong analytical skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to remain calm and productive under deadline pressure while managing multiple projects simultaneously. My editorial background ensures I can effectively screen content, identify potential issues, and work collaboratively with producers to maintain PBS's high standards. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my extensive experience in bilingual news and documentary programming can contribute to PBS's mission of providing trusted, high-quality content to the American public.

The President likes to attack reputable news organizations, which have existed long before his immigrant relatives entered this country. We ask where is all the fake news you are referring to? Prove it's fake. Words matter and Trump has to be more careful because the world is paying attention. They’re listening to everything he’s saying. They’re trying to figure out how to interpret him. At a campaign rally, Mr. Trump made a reference to Sweden when talking about terrorist attacks and problems with migration.
President Obama calls the threat of voter fraud 'fake news,' saying The USA is the only democracy that makes it harder and not easier to vote. Voter fraud and the claim of a rigged election have been disproved as fake news.
It was not true in 2011 when The Donald began to question President Obama’s birthplace aloud in television interviews. “I’m starting to think that he was not born here,” he said at the time.
Leaders say Trump has no sense of shame. The Donald 'a national disgrace' who engages in illegal acts.

CNN: Police caught on camera: The good and the bad http://cnn.it/1G9SIOE
Americans have witnessed multiple incidents of police officers killing unarmed civilians on both coats of this country and supposedly for various reasons. One of the most recent US incidents occurred in Los Angeles and some wonder if a public safety motto "To Protect and To Serve" needs to be updated.
Another investigation is underway after Los Angeles police fatally shot a homeless man on LA's skid row, during an encounter that was caught on video.
Suspended without pay for six months and some hope he goes away, far far away. After hearing from people who had to work wit him and reading the endless news stories and posts on social media, all that is left to say is Hasta Luego.
There are more important news stories developing all around the world and too much time has been wasted on an individual's ego trip and exaggerated tales gone from bad to worse.
