I'm a journalist and that's what I do.

People can get their news any way they want. What I love about what's happened is that there are so many different avenues, there are so many different outlets, so many different ways to debate and discuss and to inquire about any given news story.

Take risks ... be willing to put your mind and your spirit, your time and your energy, your stomach and your emotions on the line. To search for a safe place, to search for an end to a rainbow, is to search for a place that you will hate once you find it. The soul must be nourished along with the bank account and the resume. The best nourishment for any soul is to create your own risks.

If we're going to have debates, let's have real debates.

We have increasingly fewer and fewer journalists who have any military experience and understand what life is like in the military and in combat.

My writing is extremely important, so I write every day. I just enjoy it. I get a kick out of it.

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