keyword density can be used as a factor in determining whether a web page is relevant to a specified keyword or keyword phrase.
Tips:
1. the optimum keyword density to be 1.0% - 3.0%. Using a keyword more than that could be considered search spam.
2. overuse of keywords, a practice called keyword stuffing, will cause a web page to be penalized. |

I worked for two television news organizations in my journalistic career: CBS News and The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, now the PBS NewsHour. Both eminently worthwhile, both very different, and now, in the Age of Trump, both under MAGA assault and threatened.
PBS, at least, is fighting back. They have sued the Trump Administration, challenging the President’s executive orders suspending the Federal payments to the network and, crucially, to the member stations. Stay tuned on that one.
CBS, at least as I write this, seems to be caving in. Paramount, which owns CBS, appears to be offering some $15 million to settle a preposterous, meritless, almost laughable, $20 Billion Trump suit claiming that 60 Minutes aided the Kamala Harris Presidential campaign with a routine edit to a 60 Minutes segment last fall. (Note to Trump World: Harris lost; you won.)
Shari Redstone, the largest Paramount stockholder, reportedly is pushing to settle the suit rather than fight it so that the Trump-appointed FCC will give the necessary approval to Paramount’s multi-billion dollar sale to Skydance. The sale, of which CBS is a minor component, will further fatten Redstone’s already considerable bank account.
Redstone also has reportedly cracked down on any criticism of Trump on CBS, leading to the principled resignations of 60 Minutes’ excellent executive producer, Bill Owens, and the News Division president, Wendy McMahon, lest such reporting jeopardize the proposed sale of Paramount. Money talks, and in this case, in a loud and unmistakable voice.
The best discussion of the 60 Minutes/CBS dilemma I’ve heard is on the current New Yorker RadioHour, with New Yorker editor David Remnick questioning the estimable Lesley Stahl about the reaction and response of the 60 Minutes staff of correspondents. It is available online. Listen and weep as they discuss the “fragility” of the news business in the face of Trump’s frontal assault.
Mainstream media is indeed “fragile” these days. We all need to stay tuned as the twin challenges to PBS and CBS play out. Our democracy is at stake.

Max Frankel, former editor-and-more of The New York Times, died last week at 94. He was my friend, mentor and Washington Bureau chief back in the day. As the Times obit suggested, he was Old School, but Smart Old School. And there lies a tale…
Back in the Dark Old Days of the Nixon Administration, in the early 1970’s, Henry Kissinger was the National Security Advisor and I was covering foreign policy for The New York Times in the Washington Bureau, headed by Max Frankel. I’ve long forgotten the particular issue, but Henry (everybody called him Henry,) was incensed, really incensed, about something I had written. He complained to me, but more significantly, he called Max and demanded that he come to his office in the West Wing to hear him out.
Max, to his everlasting credit, said he would only come with the reporter who wrote the story, saying, in effect, I’m not going to go behind Terry’s back. If you have something to say, Henry, you’ll have to say it to both of us. Still pissed, Henry agreed.
When we got to Henry’s sun-filled office in the northwest corner of the West Wing, I was asked to wait outside. Max and I refused and finally were admitted together. Henry let go with both barrels about what I had written, I defended it, he complained, basically, that it made him look bad, contained inaccuracies, etc. The argument went back in forth, with Max puffing on his pipe and smiling.
Finally, Henry paused and, raising his voice, turned and addressed Max directly, but in german, their common native language (both had fled Nazi Germany before WWII.) I knew about four words of german, so that effectively shut me out of the conversation.
Max took his pipe out of his mouth and laughed openly at the absurdity of the situation and said: “Henry, this meeting is over!” Henry, to his credit, laughed as well and we moved on. But Max had made his point: The New York Times was standing behind the story, and its reporter. Case closed.

The first chaotic weeks of the second Trump Administration were strange enough up close, but viewed from afar — in this case Argentina and Brazil over the last three weeks — they seemed beyond bizarre.
It was borderline impossible to explain to Argentines, for example, what was behind the mass firings, the on-again, off-again U.S. tariffs and the talk of reclaiming the Panama Canal Zone and acquiring Greenland were all about. And Argentines know a thing or two about erratic leadership: their President, the curly-haired, chainsaw-brandishing Javier Melei, is a mini-Trump who is dismantling his own government, shaking up the Argentine economy and relishing the attention that comes with it. No surprise that Melei had a choice seat at the Trump inauguration and appeared, chainsaw in hand, with Elon Musk at the CPAC convention. It made great TV in Argentina, as well.
Trump’s embrace of Putin and dismissal of Ukraine were equally hard to explain to Brazilians. His proposal to push Palestinians out of Gaza and create “the riviera of the Middle East” brought dismissive laughs. Is he serious, they asked?
They puzzled as well over Trump’s long-winded, error-filled address to the joint session of Congress, wondering aloud whey it sounded so much like a campaign speech. Isn’t the campaign over, they asked? Yes, I said, but…
In the age of the internet and widespread wifi, all of this was instantly available in Rio. But, hey, Trump’s speech coincided with Shrove Tuesday, the height of Carnival! Brazilians had to party and party they did. The fantastical samba completion took precedence over everything. Trump’s eccentricities would have to wait.
Back home after three weeks, the Trump madness was front and center again, more immediate and much more personal, but no less strange.

I have two New Year’s Resolutions, the same two I embrace every year:
1. Read More! (Especially before noon.)
2. Write More! (Preferably before noon.)
Number One makes sense because, at this stage in a long life, I enjoy reading more and more, I learn things and no heavy lifting is involved. I usually read two or three books at a time, switching from one to another as my mood changes. Right now, I have three big, heavy biographies underway:
“Kingmaker: Pamela Harriman’s Astonishing Life of Power, Seduction and Intrigue,” by Sonia Purnell.
“Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom,” by David W. Blight.
“Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century,” by George Packer.
All three are terrific. Lest you think I am hopelessly hooked on biographies, I just finished a wonderful novel: “The Bee Sting,” by Paul Murray, an Irish author. It is funny, unpredictable, rambling and delightful. Murray needs an editor, but he has an intriguing technique of writing what his characters are thinking to themselves as they stumble through life.
And, just ahead: “The Newsmongers, A History of Tabloid Journalism,” by Terry Kirby, a British newsmonger himself.
Why before noon? In truth, it is hard for me to read books, much less write them, before noon on an average day because three newspapers arrive on my doorstep every morning: The New York Times, The Washington Post and the Annapolis Capital Gazette. Give all three a serious read and look up at the clock: it’s noon!
Those are my New Year’s resolutions for 2025, and my excuse for not being more productive. Just like last year.

Ours is an unembarrassed, unequivocal Carter Household tonight as the testimonials pour in for James Earl Carter, the 39th President of the United States, dead at the extraordinary age of 100.
My wife, Susy, was on his staff as part of the Congressional Liaison group known as the Budget Task Force. She worked in a high-ceilinged, huge office in the Old Executive Office Building across the alley from the White House. She has plenty of Carter and Carter Administration stories to tell. The two of us actually met in the Carter White House 40-odd years ago.
I covered the 39th President as Chief White House Correspondent for The New York Times, interviewing Carter in the Oval Office, writing about his struggles with Congress and the economy (remember the gas lines, the soaring inflation?) traveling with him aboard Air Force One all over the world.
So many memories come back tonight. Particularly poignant is the recollection of his last 72 hours in office, as Carter worked tirelessly, with just snatches of sleep, to complete the deal that would bring home the 52 American hostages that had been held in Teheran for 444 long days and, arguably, had cost him a second term as President.
On the morning of January 20, 1981, with the negotiation essentially complete but the hostages still being held in Teheran, Carter went up to the west front of the U.S. Capitol to stand at attention as Ronald Reagan was sworn in in his place. Then, in the motorcade that followed to Andrews Air Force Base, word finally came that the hostages had boarded a plane and cleared Iranian air space. The hostage crisis was over, all 52 hostages were being brought home alive and private citizen Carter returned to his home in Plains, Georgia.
Instead of resting, Carter and a few aides and reporters, including me, were back in the air early the next morning, flying to Wiesbaden, Germany, to greet the hostages as they were being examined in a U.S. military hospital. Arriving after dark, Carter and a couple of aides held an emotional meeting at the hospital trying to explain to angry, frustrated hostages all that had been done, fruitlessly, to win their release. They were far from satisfied, but they were all alive, and free.
Carter’s face was drawn and white as he returned to the aircraft where the rest of us were waiting. When I asked him what the meeting had been like, he had a pained expression on his face. “Cathartic,” he said, “cathartic.”
The huge plane with “United States of America” emblazoned on its side refueled and took off, flying through the night back to Washington and Plains. The Presidency of James Earl Carter — Jimmy Carter —was over.

Like many old sayings, the old one about boat-owning is more true than not. “The two happiest days in a boat-owner’s life are the day he buys the boat…and the day he sells her.”
I’ve experienced both, more than once, but it was bittersweet the other day when I parted with Winsome, my Canadian Sailcraft 40, a lovely, blue-hulled sloop, and turned her over to new owners. At age 35, Winsome is certainly not shiny or new, but she still sails like a dream and is a cozy, comfortable berth at anchor overnight.
I sailed her for 25 years: racing in 2000 from Annapolis-to-Bermuda, cruising her to New England three summers, and more recently, day-sailing and cruising the Chesapeake Bay. Great times, great memories.
But, the second half of the cliche is still true: it is a relief not to have to care for Winsome when the Bay begins to ice-over or when things go wrong, as they do. A thin crust of ice appeared in Annapolis waters over Christmas this week: not my problem.
But: when spring arrives and a fresh breeze ruffles the water, how will I feel then? Not so great, I suspect. The solution, then, is another cliche: “OPB’s,” or other people’s boats. Surely they’ll need crew, right?
