Bette in the News

Lastly, my dear friend Mark Thompson, who I worked with for many years in broadcast news, invited me on his radio show yesterday to talk about the week of Shock and Awful (thank you HiFi for that phrase).

In the thumbnail above, you will find our former colleague Lauren Sanchez. I used to be her producer. Small world.

Thank you to each of you who supports independent investigative journalism in these increasingly dark days.

As Marci Shore says, it’s time for the good guys to start winning.

In solidarity, reality, truth, and unity,
