The cornerstone of her show is patriotism and Robyn will start each day with a local resident reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.“It feels like we have lost our way in this country and we urgently need to return to the feeling we had on September 12 – the day after the 2001 terrorist attacks,” she said. “We flew our flag proudly, wore flag pins on our lapels, there was a fighting spirit in our country to win, to demolish the terrorists who killed innocent Americans.”
Robyn, an award-winning journalist who has covered some of the biggest stories of our lifetime, also plans to tackle “fake news.”
“Now everywhere you look there is blatant bias and fake news,” she said. “We need an honest press – reporters who deal in black and white facts – reporters who tell the truth and we urgently need journalists who are not activists pushing an agenda.”She is the author of two books, “Covering Catastrophe: Broadcast Journalists Report 9-11-01,” and “Beautiful Life: The CSI Behind the Casey Anthony Trial.”
Robyn is a graduate of The George Washington University and has a master’s degree from New York University. She also received a diploma from The Institute for Political Journalism at TFAS The Fund for American Studies at Georgetown University.
