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

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.

They take journalism really seriously because they know the force that it is and can be.

We in the press, by our power, can actually undermine leadership.

I have spent the past ten years in just about every war zone there was.

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

And one thing that I always believed and that I knew for certain was that I could never have sustained a personal relationship while I worked this hard, or while I was that driven this intensely by the story.
