The President is dictating his own news and trying to override or bypass the media by way of nonstop tweets. The Democrats have too many candidates for the media much less the public to deal with. How will journalists help voters sort through all the noise and confusion 🤔?

Please join us for the Press Club panel on the 2020 presidential election. What should journalists do differently this time around? Sign up today! #pressclubcle @TomBeres @RussWKYC @karenkasler @sabrinaeaton



Watch my interview with Sherrod Brown on WKYC.COM. He talks Jim Renacci’s campaign’s fact-free charges against him, his personal input into President Trump’s reworked NAFTA deal, his support for Cleveland’s blockchain technology push and some election predictions.

Sen. John McCain embodied the best of public service. I was fortunate to interview him twice. He tried to put the country's best interest above what was politically expedient for his party. If only his passing and legacy could inspire more members of Congress to follow his path.

Want a civil enjoyable discussion about politics? Campaign brain Jerry Austin talks and signs his new book-True Tales from the Campaign Trail: Stories only Political Consultants Can Tell-Wed. 7-9 pm at Fairview Park library. It's free. PD's Brent Larkin and I in the mix too.


So sad to learn of the passing of columnist, commentator and newsman's newsman Dick Feagler. He knew CLE better than anyone. His common sense and conscience made him a great storyteller. I was lucky to work with him twice, at the Press and TV 3. Two huge CLE losses in one day.


NASA Glenn Director Janet Kavandi may get a promotion ... And in addition to being a wonderful space agency leader, she looks remarkably like Channel 3 Weathercaster Betsy Kling. cleveland.com/metro/index.ss…
