My feeling about the Internet or anything else is that the more it tends to become a cult, the more I want to call it into question.

I do care if religious doctrine becomes an excuse to exclude my fellow citizens from the rights and protections our country promises.

You don't want to go around willy-nilly suing news organizations. That's probably self-defeating.

Everything is accessible to everyone all the time, and I think there are wondrous things to treasure with what the Internet has made available to journalists. But I think it's also had some effects that are less pleasant. It has chipped away at a sense of privacy and secrecy.

I don't think fairness means that you give equal time to every point of view no matter how marginal. You weigh the sides, you do some truth-testing, you apply judgment to them.

My view of social media is that it is a set of tools, not a religion.

One of the most important disciplines in journalism is to challenge your working premises.
