I've learned in my years as a journalist that when a politician says 'That's ridiculous' you're probably on the right track

As journalist, I'm responsible to the American people, not to the military of the United States.

But for the media to name their coverage of the 2003 invasion of Iraq the same as what the Pentagon calls it — everyday seeing 'Operation Iraqi Freedom' — you have to ask: 'If this were state controlled media, how would it be any different?'

[The media can be] the greatest force for peace on the earth [for] it is how we come to understand each other.

Journalism is the only profession explicitly protected by the U.S. Constitution, because journalists are supposed to be the check and balance on government. We're supposed to be holding those in power accountable. We're not supposed to be their megaphone. That's what the corporate media have become.

Go to where the silence is and say something.
