A while back my buddy John Miranda sent me a message saying he’d just been asked to appear on Press TV. Having myself been asked on a number of occasions to appear on what no question is the one news outlet that’s as near as dammit devoted to telling the truth, since JM used to be one of America’s finest swimmers & so was no stranger to being in the arena, I thought go for it mate. Hit ’em where it hurts!

Like water off a duck’s back, you wouldn’t know it was his debut performance. However, what particularly pleased me was JM flat out saying something I’ve bust a gut trying to get people to understand –

the increase in Police brutality within the United States, I think this definitely can be pointed at the Israeli training the Department of Homeland Security is giving all American police officers

THANK YOU JOHN!

For me the stumbling block with Press TV wasn’t so much having to literally be ready to go in 30 minutes. It was the fact they insisted on doing their interviews live. Having already participated in live radio shows, hard as I tried, nerves would inevitably get the better of me. I never felt comfortable. If I didn’t know I was being interviewed or taped I could talk for England but live TV? The thought of my boat race being plastered on camera & the GMM suddenly going all tongue-tied & twisted? Leave me right out! I’d never live it down. I’ve always believed – stick to what you’re good at.
