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.

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.

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

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

And I believe that good journalism, good television, can make our world a better place.
