If I'm successful in fooling a wire service, I don't really have to do anything else to promote the story.

All they expected me to do was rip and read the wire 'leads,' without doing any original reporting. It was pretty basic, but gave me a taste of how to combine my love of politics and broadcasting.
If you don't have a story that will hold the audience, you won't have a successful show.
I'm a journalist, and I'm a filmmaker. I have an organization that's all about telling stories.
In a very straightforward way, I am a terrible reporter. I'm not someone who can go into a story and not get involved.
You have to go where the story is to report on it. As a journalist, you're essentially running to things that other people are running away from.
I spent a whole 12 years helping other people tell their stories as a publicist, so just to be able to go and write and get behind the camera, that's my thing.
If you look at the heritage of the cable business, if you can own a niche, you have a good chance of succeeding.
Because I'm not doing it for the money, I'm doing it because I feel like that story needs to be told or clarified, or something needs to be shown about that.
I try to tell the story, always. I do not want to be part of it.
You can't expect that because you find a story and report it out that your newspaper and broadcasting company is going to want to publish and broadcast it - and you're going to be a hero.
