If the first lady is concerned about this Internet cycle, what would she have done during the heyday when there was 12, 13 editions of a paper in one day? What would she have done with that news cycle?

I cover media people the way they cover politicians.

I live in a world that's free, colorful, vibrant, takes chances, bold, stands up to power, umm, and that's where I've mad my success.

I was first to break the news about the death of Lady Diana. The CNN team couldn't get into makeup fast enough.

I just wish there was more media that was trailblazing and independent. And, this to me is a big danger right now in this set up is you've got these corporations, like the New York Times, and Amazon now with the Washington Post, and Time-Warner, and all of them seem to be the same! This is what's frightening!

You are what you dream you are and become. And, I wish Americans would get out of the sickness and just become greater.

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