You have to be precise. You have to be specific, but you want to be accurate. That is first and foremost. You want to be on top of the story, but words do matter.

My inclination, as an old-school, classically trained journalist, is not to go with a story unless I have it hard. It's not good enough to say something based on rumors that were flying around.

Almost every day I wrap up my two-hour live broadcast and I say to myself as I'm driving home, 'I wish I would've done this' or 'We really should have gone live longer with this segment.

My best stories come from well-placed sources who point me in the right direction.

I'm a season ticket holder to the Washington Wizards, and I love going to Washington Nationals and Redskins games.

I eat right. I exercise. I run 5 miles a day on the treadmill.

I love covering stories that have huge historic impacts.
