Ed Baxter Newsteria
Without questions, we don’t get answers. Amid the swirl of opinions being thrown around in today’s world, what I call a mix of news and hysteria, how often are we actually going through the process of breaking down the plethora of opinions to be able to come up our own rational thoughts about what makes sense? I try to take a current news story and present both sides in a rational way. Opinions formed? Yes. But a little better understanding of what makes sense. Ed Baxter is an award winning journalist. He is the recipient of accolades from Associated Press, UPI, RTNDA, and six regional and national Edward R. Murrow honors. He spent over thirty years at KGO Radio as well as working for the ABC radio network. Ed was the main substitute on the globe’s number program, Paul Harvey News, through most of the 1990’s. He most recently spent nine years at Bloomberg Media as a News Anchor.
