@AP I’m grateful for the coworkers who taught me how to be a wire service reporter and saved me from so many boneheaded mistakes. Thanks also to sources who gave freely of knowledge and time.

I had amazing experiences with @AP, whether wading in the floodwaters of Hurricane Harvey, living the aftermath of Georgia’s 2020 election or chronicling a mentally ill Elvis impersonator framed for attempted poisoning of Barack Obama by a child-molesting taekwondo instructor. 8.3K views · 36 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →
