I don't think very many people would accuse Paula Zahn of being a conservative.

If the markets had behaved badly, that would obviously add to people's sense of alarm... but there has been a lot of reassurance coming, particularly in the way the Brits handled all this. There seems to be no great fear that something like that is going to happen here.

We had more viewers on the broadcast network than we did on the cable channel.

We've had a chance to be seen by viewers who had never seen us before, and we've kept a lot of them.

We need more foreign reach; no question about that. And we're working on getting that. We need more people abroad; we need some more bureaus... That is really an important job.

I think that what people want from cable news channels is the sense that if there's hard news, it's going to come up immediately.

Some in journalism consider themselves apart from and to some extent above the people they purport to serve.
