As I say, I'm a discourse advocate. What form it comes is less important to me than the fact that there is discourse.

Best I can do for them is to give them every piece of information I can find and let them make the judgments. That's just my basic view of my function as a journalist.

There are very few really stark black and white stories.

I have been accused of something I'm not guilty of. How do you prove a negative? No matter what we discuss here today, I'm never going to have my name restored. But I've got to try and set the record straight.

On a daily basis there are some huge ones that are, sure, from time to time, but it is helping the reader sort through all this sort of gray stuff out there.

If you go to the ball game, you don't need to read the game story.
