The book I have written “Fighting for the Press” has had a rollercoaster ride since the Associated Press  and Rosengate stories hit the headlines because I say Obama may be worse than Nixon. 

I have done at least 50 TV, print, Net and radio interviews since then.  I will be on the Leonard Lopate Show on NPR today at 12:00 noon EDT.

My piece for the Daily Beast and a Huff Post story drew over 6,000 comments virtually, to coin a phrase, unprecedented.
