Speaking to the subject is the most overrated thing in journalism.

I think dealing with the U.S. Senate is very different from dealing with the electorate.

Journalism, some huge percentage of it, should be devoted to putting pressure on power, on nonsense, on chicanery of all kinds and if that's going to invite a lawsuit, well, bring it on.

I don't go around every other day calling for governors to resign. I don't think I ever have.

What can everyone do? Praise and blame. This is human virtue, this is human madness.

The more confident one becomes, the less one needs all people to be the same.
