The Newshawk Reports

Frederic Voss says he can see humor in most
anything, although he sees nothing funny in
the way the politicians and the news media are
betraying the American people. It is the politicians
that catch the razor edge of his wit. I have come
to distrust them all, he said. Voss began writing
his style of satire more than 25 years ago as a cub reporter for a small
newspaper in Western New York. Sensing a need for an alter ego, he invented
Newshawk to tell his stories. He stayed with the newspaper for two years
before deciding, I couldnt afford to work there anymore. Voss was asked
to continue writing his weekly columns after leaving the newspaper and
did so for eight years. He finally terminated the column when the world of
work interfered. He started writing again in January 2011. Voss has worked
in door-to-door sales for three companies and at one point owned a custom
furniture-building shop for five years and attended craft festivals in nearly
all of the Northeastern states. Voss and his wife Mary have been married for
41 years, have three grown children and one grandson. They live in Western
New York.
