Seeing Trump’s residence Mar-a-Lago on television day after day on local and national television news, I couldn’t help asking myself this Trumpish question:

It astonishes me, although it shouldn't after listening to years of on-air pundits abuse simple English worlds in order to make their points. So it didn’t surprise me that phase one of the January 6 Select Committee hearings had some commentators using the word “hero” despite the fact that many of these Johnny- come- lately “heroes” had supported the lies of the former twice-impeached president for more than four years.

Of all my book signings, the ones for my first book, “SPIN MAN,” published in 1997, were the most fun and learning experiences I’m happy to share with new authors.  This memoir chronicles my adventures and misadventures in public relations after I left NBC.

Who really won?

Citing irregularities in certain swing states, many still questioned who really won the Presidency.  Sound familiar?  Only this was the 1960 general election.  

In May the head of the Food and Drug Administration warned that misinformation has become the leading cause of death in the United States.

Gun control and abortion rights issues expose the limits of political and non-political public relations campaigns. It’s not the money spent that counts, or the number of media placements. it’s the number of votes and changing the minds of people that matters.

“Ah death. A change of clothes.”– The Dalai Lama

What we remember are the stories. It is what holds us together. Families. Communities. Countries.

On May 24, on this site, I wrote a column giving my opinion on why the Republican Party has stymied Democratic legislation on women’s right to choose and gun control.
