Well, to tell you truth, I have learned a long time ago that the trick when doing a debate, any kind of debate, is to just turn off the judgment switch in my head.

In television there are only about 12 people who do what I do.

My Marine experience helped shape who I am now personally and professionally, and I am grateful for that on an almost daily basis.

I'm an expert on the NewsHour and it isn't how I practice journalism. I am not involved in the story. I serve only as a reporter or someone asking questions. I am not the story.

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.

I have great faith in the intelligence of the American viewer and reader to put two and two together and come up with four.

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