In this episode I remind the audience how new media seems to always be 12 to 18 months ahead of mainstream outlets. At the start of the pandemic, any discussion over the virus being created in a lab would get you de-platformed. Discussion of gain-of-function research was dismissed as conspiracy theory. Suggesting the vaccine isn’t the one-size-fits-all answer and we will not get to Covid zero would get you thrown into social media jail.
Journalists are supposed to be interested in the truth. Or, at the very least, factual information. Oftentimes, there will be conflicting information or dissenting opinions. The journalist should be there to present the information in a way that gives us a chance to hear all sides and make up our own minds. However, when they take their marching orders from the upper echelon of the Democrat party or public health without any skepticism, we are no longer getting news — we are getting propaganda.
Our leaders in public health and the Democrat party have gotten so many things wrong with the response to Covid, but continue to demand blind loyalty and obedience. President Biden made a plea today to social media and media outlets to stop all “disinformation or misinformation” from airing on their platforms. With all they have gotten wrong before, why wouldn’t we demand to know more information and not the same talking points regurgitated day after day? How much longer can they continue to be wrong and retain any credibility whatsoever?

Actor - Writer - Director - Radio - Veteran | I like ‘guy’ things: women, sports, video games, dogs, drinking, football, shooting guns, war movies, action movies, sci-fi movies and playing the hero. I am a red-blooded, American male through-and-through. But, I have another side as well, a deep and entrenched creative side, which started with writing and evolved to include acting and radio. As a result, I have appeared in nearly 100 stage shows and been involved in dozens of motion pictures, including two independent features available on Amazon Prime.
I have also been in broadcast radio for over 20 years. Thus far, I have been honored to receive five GAB Awards from the Georgia Association of Broadcasters: Two for Best On-Air Personality and three for Best Talk Show.
It was only natural with these pursuits, podcasting would eventually be added to my plate. In late 2017, I decided to start a show with my buddy and co-host, Walt Murray, called, The Wilder Ride. We examine the films of Gene Wilder in the movies by minutes format. This has opened the door to meeting so many new and amazing podcasters from around the world and led to some amazing friendships! As Shakespeare puts it, “I am amazed and know not what to say!” Afterwards, my wife and I started a show called, 'The Marriage Fit Podcast" where we talk about our lives as a blended family. Our tag line is it's a show about trying to make things fit, staying fit, and not throwing a fit.
Of all the roles I play, though, I want to point out that there are two I consider more important than any I have ever played (or will ever play) and that is being a DAD and HUSBAND. I have four girls, ages, 26, 24, 23, and 21 and there is nothing I won't do for them. And, none of life's ambitions would be possible without the strength and support of my best friend in the entire world, my wife, Susan. Regardless of anything else, nothing will ever outshine them.
