I have great faith in the intelligence of the American viewer and reader to put two and two together and come up with four.
There's always a germ of truth in just about everything.
I'm in the reporting part of journalism.
My own view, there is a need for and a demonstrated need for more journalism now than there ever has been.
I started as a print reporter. I’m a journalist and that’s what I do. My function is an anchorperson, but it’s in a journalism context, and gravitas and coats and ties and haircuts and all that sort of stuff, I’ll leave to others. My thing is just to do my job the best way I know how and as I say I’m very fortunate to be able to do it the way I want to do it.
I'm an expert on the NewsHour and it isn't how I practice journalism. I am not involved in the story. I serve only as a reporter or someone asking questions. I am not the story.
If people want bells and whistles and all of that, there are bells and whistles available. If they don't want bells and whistles there are places to go where they are not available.
I'm in the civil discourse business. I think it takes all kinds. And more power to everybody.
We have increasingly fewer and fewer journalists who have any military experience and understand what life is like in the military and in combat.
Those who know me know I won't hesitate to turn around and point someone out.
On a daily basis there are some huge ones that are, sure, from time to time, but it is helping the reader sort through all this sort of gray stuff out there.
