I've been traveling a lot, and I'm seeing a lot of desperation everywhere in America. A lot of sad desperation.

Everybody is so hungry for referrals, for 'likes.' I don't need to be liked. I don't need to be liked at all. I don't care if there's a button right there at the top of Drudge saying 'like' or 'dislike,' 'thumbs up,' 'thumbs down,' it doesn't mean anything.

Since Democrats vs. Republicans has been obliterated, no real difference between parties.

I didn't go to the right schools, didn't come from a well-known family, nor was I even remotely connected to a powerful publishing dynasty.

A lot of the stories are internal. They leak it to me wanting to get attention, wanting to get that headline. More times than not, I will not give it to them.

There's nothing more exciting than to watch a story break and grow, and to be the first one to present it to the world.

There's a danger of the Internet just becoming loud, ugly and boring with a thousand voices screaming for attention.
