I have never voted a party line. I vote on the individual and the issues.
From Walter Cronkite
I think the whole policy of pre-emptive war is a serious, serious mistake.
I looked at the world with the humaneness, I think, which is one of the hallmarks of being liberal in my mind.
It's a little hard not to be an elitist when you're making millions of dollars a year.
I write pretty quickly. Write pretty fast. I was an old press service man. That was part of the necessity of that occupation.
For heaven's sakes, in the newspaper days, when we had competing newspapers, and the newsstands sale was as important as the circulation - as the agreed-upon circulation, whatever you call that - in those days, why, gosh, the sensationalism was tremendous.
I certainly think cameras ought to be in courtrooms.
I think cameras ought to be everywhere the reporters are allowed to go. I think, furthermore, reporters and cameras ought to be everywhere that the Constitution says the public can go.
Court proceedings, except for certain limited situations, are open to the public. This is for the protection of the accused, to be certain to ascertain that there is a fair trial.
I don't think it's in any way harmful, this marriage of media and politicians. I think it enhances the communications process considerably and makes it possible for the public to be far more aware, far more up-to-date on issues and the opposite sides of the issues.
