It's very easy to have slogans and rhetoric that people will follow, but eventually the slogans fall away.

I'm not one who goes for the 'all press is good press' dictum.

If you only have one shot at writing a headline, there's a lot of pressure.

If I write something down, it's normally just a sharp one-liner.

I know the difference between journalism and a slogan.

You give a press conference, and they'll pick one word, they'll pick two words. The media is still out to write what they want to write.

A free, analytical and questioning press must be helped survive.

We talk about a free press. These people hide, they make a lot of money off the media. They hide behind the slogans of free press, and then they can come out with crap like that. It's just garbage. It's insulting to the readers.

There's such an emphasis on people being the perfect thing and then destroying them because it's good press.
