I've been avoiding journalists my whole life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't like journalists and I hardly ever talk to them.
I am not one of the great journalists of my time.
I'm not shy or reclusive. I just spend my time with people rather than journalists.
I did not read newspapers until I became a reporter.
A basic rule of life for reporters is that you should spend your time talking with and learning about people who are not sending you press releases, rather than those who are.
Don't pretend to be a journalist if you're not a journalist.
I'm a lousy journalist.
I make friends faster and easier than journalists.
I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn't ever have to rely on the press for my information.
The truth is, I don't have any problem with journalists - I count some of them as friends - also some of my heroes are journalists, I'm a big fan of Robert Fisk - great people or crazy people who are prepared to stand up for what's right.
