During my 45 year career reporting and anchoring on radio and television it has been my goal to give a voice to the oppressed, disadvantaged, abused and mistreated. Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. I am a Vietnam War Veteran not afraid to speak truth to power and advocate for the civil and constitutional rights of everyone through careful, accurate and objective reporting. Now, more than ever, journalism is critical to the health and future of USA democracy.
