I strongly believe that journalism is one of the most noble professions, because without an informed world, and without an informed society, we are weak, we are weak.

If we have no respect for our viewers, then how can we have any respect for ourselves and what we do?

Mostly, as I said, a desire to do a bit of good, and the quaint notion that this is what we signed up for, this is the business that we have chosen.

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

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

I have made my living bearing witness to some of the most horrific events of the end of our century, at the end of the 20th century.

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