Little did I know that the last words I would say on WNBC would be the last ones anyone would say.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Tom Browkaw said it best. He said NBC could survive without him or the rest of the news division, but not Nancy Fields.
'Fox News' will one day come to an end. Led Zeppelin will not. It's as simple as that.
The 800-pound gorillas of TV news are gone. When I was the White House correspondent at NBC, and Tom Brokaw was anchor, the reporters were protected.
I only watch MSNBC for the news.
Journalists should have been the first to tell people what Obamacare would mean to them. They are now the last to figure all of this out.
It's lamented that the youth get their news from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. It's lamentable that they get more from them than from the news.
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.
If there are three words that need to be used more in American journalism, commentary, politics, personal life... it's the magic words 'I don't know.'
I can't think of an instance at MSNBC where anything I said on the air was influenced by what was going on behind the scenes.
No one has the last word other than God.
