I'd Much Rather Wear Out Than Rust

My Cousin Just Died. He Was Only 19. He Got Stung By A Bee - The Natural Enemy Of A Tightrope Walker.

I Quote The Late Ed Murow. ... He Said: 'look, People Listen To Me When They Want An Eyewitness Account. 'they Think I'm A Pretty Good Reporter. But When It Comes To My Opinions, Mine Are Not Worth Anymore Than The Guy At The End Of The Bar.' And I Believe That About Myself.

From The Streets Of Cairo And The Arab Spring, To Occupy Wall Street, From The Busy Political Calendar To The Aftermath Of The Tsunami In Japan, Social Media Was Not Only Sharing The News But Driving It.

Foreign News Is Considered An Expletive. Thoughtfully Written Analysis Is Out, 'live Pops' Are In. 'action Jackson' Is The Cry. Hire Lookers, Not Writers. Do Powder Puff, Not Probing Interviews. Stay Away From Controversial Subjects. Kiss Ass, Move With The Mass, And For Heaven And Rating's Sake, Don't Make Anybody Mad- - Certainly Not Anybody You're Covering, And Especially Not The Mayor, The Governor, The Senator, The President Or The Vice-president Or Anybody In A Position Of Power. Make Nice, Not News.

I've Always Tried To Be Fair, Even-handed, Not An Advocate For Any Group.
