I did this painting some time ago. It is in a private collection.

The tug of war between press and politico is never ending. One wants to gather and provide meaningful information and to elude evasive or misleading responses. One wants to avoid being trapped into giving harmful and incomplete soundbites and to express a point of view without it being distorted. An optimist appreciates the checks and balances as a beneficial system. A cynic begins to despise both sides.

From week to week our sports heroes go from superstar celebrities to the scum of the earth…and then back again.

The ongoing debate continues, does the media report the news or create the news?
