I do believe that is a template that I stick very strongly to to tell the truth in an increasing swelter of lies and misinformation and disinformation.

Here in the United States, our profession is much maligned, people simply don't trust or like journalists anymore and that's sad.

And then theres always the crying and the weeping that we hear-children, women, even men. And these images and these sounds are always with me.

Im not an American but I have always had the outsiders respect for the American people and the American way.

And I really believe good journalism is good business.

What Americans don't care much about is the piffle we put on TV these days, what they don't care about is boring, irrelevant, badly told stories, and what they really hate is the presumption that they're too stupid to know the difference.

There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice. Objectivity doesn't mean treating all sides equally. It means giving each side a hearing.
