We journalists are never so idiotic as when we analyze things that we shouldn't be analyzing.

Not all journalists are really journalists. They ask such stupid questions sometimes, especially the newer ones, and because... these people can't tell if you're joking around, you just can't have any sense of humour; you really can't.

Some of our best journalists take themselves even more seriously than the politicians they write about.

I don't trust a lot of journalists.

The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves - and the better the teacher, the better the student body.

There aren't enough good journalists. There are too many who really weren't groomed to be reporters and, as a result, some of the reporting is shallow.

Journalists can get very pompous, especially in the formalized days of 'Meet the Press,' when they took themselves so damned seriously.

If you believe in journalism, you don't insult good journalists.

The fact is, most journalists I know are not particularly political. They move around a lot.

I fooled some of the most brilliant people in journalism.
