My view is that when lies become mixed up with the truth, it's a very dangerous world.

Our industry has invested so much money in technology that perhaps it's time to invest in talent, in people.

I was really just the tea boy to begin with, or the equivalent thereof, but I quickly announced, innocently but very ambitiously, that I wanted to be, I was going to be, a foreign correspondent.

Objectivity means trying to give all sides a hearing. It does not, in my view, mean treating all sides as equal.

In Bosnia, little children shot in the head by a guy who thinks it's okay to aim his gun at a child.

I leave CNN with the utmost respect, love and admiration for the company and everyone who works here. This has been my family and shared endeavor for the past 27 years, and I am forever grateful and proud of all that we have accomplished.

Some people accused me of being pro-Muslim in Bosnia, but I realised that our job is to give all sides an equal hearing, but in cases of genocide you can't just be neutral. You can't just say, 'Well, this little boy was shot in the head and killed in besieged Sarajevo and that guy over there did it, but maybe he was upset because he had an argument with his wife.' No, there is no equality there, and we had to tell the truth.
