Jim LehrerI 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.

Jim LehrerI started as a print reporter. Iโm a journalist and thatโs what I do. My function is an anchorperson, but itโs in a journalism context, and gravitas and coats and ties and haircuts and all that sort of stuff, Iโll leave to others. My thing is just to do my job the best way I know how and as I say Iโm very fortunate to be able to do it the way I want to do it.
