“‘It is no surprise that social media sites “have surpassed print newspapers as a news source for Americans.” According to Forbes, nearly 65% of internet users receive breaking news from social media. But aside from the declining number of newspapers and the jobs lost as a result, the thing that should concern us most is accuracy and accountability.” |

“‘Last month came a ray of hope when most North Carolina localities cancelled their annual fireworks displays due to COVID-19. But my elation was short-lived when I realized that a decrease in municipal fireworks would just mean an increase in private celebrations. Sure enough, on July 4th people all over the Triad started firing rockets into the sky, making eardrum-bursting sounds akin to cannon fire, and my family didn’t feel patriotic, we felt violated. Pardon my French, but this $#!+ has got to stop.” |

“‘Back when Virginia Governor Doug Wilder served as chairman of the Southern Governors Association, I was struck by how transparent and cooperative the governors were, especially given that the Association’s membership represented chief executives who hailed from both political parties.

“‘In the summer of 1977, I was in a Century City hotel to tape interviews with network stars; one included Robert Wagner, promoting his CBS drama Switch. In the years since, I came to realize that R.J.’s elegance, charm, and kindness were 100% genuine. For example, 30 years after our first meeting, he flew to Winston-Salem to help our Humane Society raise money. This year, R.J. turned a youthful 90, and this summer, he celebrates his 70th year in show business. Recently, we had a phone conversation about his remarkable career.” |
