December 13, 2020 Guest perspective by Dan O’Donnell Unless his name is Jim Acosta, the last thing any reporter wants to do is to make himself part of the story.  As both a columnist here at the MacIver Institute and a talk show host on News/Talk 1130 WISN in Milwaukee and 1310 WIBA in Madison, I pride myself on keeping the issues ahead of my own ego.
