Why did you leave news laundry ? https://youtu.be/k_pXSHsRJ8w?t=156 I'm 77 now . two years ago I decided I did not want to spend the last lap of my career like this.. wake up in the morning and check every story and check every word and every bit of footage because one wrong could taken as defamatory and seditious. it could be anything.
Telling your people to wait for the other side. You're writing a negative story about someone.. at least give him a chance. Young people don't want to wait for 24 hours .
I have done it in the past, but at this stage I wanted to write with a larger perspective, look lt the larger Horizon of where we're going, what we are etc.
