Twitter, Facebook and Reddit, that’s not journalism. That's gossip. Journalism was invented as an antidote to gossip.

We have entered a time when a writer's first idea is his best idea, when the first thing a reporter hears is the first thing that she reports. We live in a time now when we have seen major television networks take video off of YouTube and broadcast it to millions of Americans without verifying whether the video had been fabricated or not.

I'm always trying to get those interviews that are impossible to get, because they are the ones that are most interesting to the audience.

The American people can always be trusted with the information.

Never before in human history has more bad information been available to more people.

You have to be a political leader, willing to lose an election if you want to do what's right.

Journalists are getting big stories wrong, over and over again.
