We are the recorders and reporters of facts - not the judges of the behaviors we describe.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Interviews, and hence interviewers, are there to help shed light, and to let viewers judge for themselves. We are not judges, juries, commentators or torturers - nor friends, either.
But one way or another, judges perform a very vital function in our society. They have a risky job and they are entitled to security.
Judges are real people with real-world experiences and backgrounds. We cannot expect them to erase their experiences and backgrounds from the mindset that informs their judicial decision-making.
There is in each of us a stream of tendency, whether you choose to call it philosophy or not, which gives coherence and direction to thought and action. Judges cannot escape that current any more than other mortals.
Our role as judges is to interpret the law.
Good reporting should have the same standard as in a courtroom - beyond a reasonable doubt.
We're all the harshest judges of ourselves.
Seeking of the truth should be not only part of the Justice Department and part of our judicial system, but also should be... a goal of reporters today.
If you take the cameras out of the courtroom, then you hide a certain measure of truth from the public.
Reporters aren't actually people!
