Those who know me know I won't hesitate to turn around and point someone out.

I'm a gatekeeper, and the gatekeepers all used to be mostly old, white men.

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.

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.

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

I'm in the reporting part of journalism.

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