For many years, I did my best to report on the issues of the day in as objective a manner as possible. When I had my own strong opinions, as I often did, I tried not to communicate them to my audience. Now, however, my circumstances are different. I am in a position to speak my mind. And that is what I propose to do.

We know that no one should tell a woman she has to bear an unwanted child. We know that religious beliefs cannot define patriotism.

In seeking truth you have to get both sides of a story.

We've got a great percentage of our population that, to our great shame, either cannot or, equally unfortunate, will not read. And that portion of our public is growing. Those people are suckers for the demagogue.

We are not educated well enough to perform the necessary act of intelligently selecting our leaders.

This opens the door on another chapter of history.

Television... is not a substitute for print.
