I did not like the media. I didn’t feel the media, you couldn’t trust them. They were out for what they wanted. It always used to bug me when they tried to tempt you and try to goad you into saying something. I can remember a staff member making a remark to event and the reporter said, “Well, this is off the record.” And she had her microphone down at the edge of her leg and the veterinarian said something he probably shouldn’t have said and needless to say, they got front page. So, I had learned early in my career that although the media’s like a necessary evil, it’s your friend and it can be your enemy and how you play that game is probably better left to people with better skills for doing that than me. I tend to be too factual, too candid. And when I didn’t really want to talk, I didn’t.
