I have always thought it morally unacceptable to kill stories, not to run stories, that people have risked their lives to get.

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

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?

U.S. soldiers, with whom I now have more than a passing acquaintance, joke that they track my movements in order to know where they will be deployed next.

What we do and say and show really matters.

And I really believe good journalism is good business.

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