I knew early on that I would do politics, but I would never make a living at it. I would do something else.

To go from politics to news, at least the subject matter is the same, even if the view is different.

TV is a huge draw. It's a magnet. Even when I was a policeman, if I was on a police scene and the news showed up, I'd race home to see if I would be on TV for 2 seconds!

[Invading Iraq] would create generations that hated the USA.

We can't just have mainstream behavior on television in a free society, we have to make sure we see the whole panorama of human behavior.
