Because I am foreign I was assigned to the foreign desk. I kid you not, its true.

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.

In Iran the whole reform and democracy movement has been based on the emerging free press.

For instance, why are we terrorizing this country, leading with murder and mayhem, when crime is actually on the decline, as somebody, as somebody mentioned?

Because if we the storytellers don't do this, then the bad people will win.

I believe America will always win the war. It's a superpower that no one can challenge. The real challenge is for the United States to win the peace.

Objectivity doesn't mean treating all sides equally. It means giving each side a hearing.
