Facts are not interesting to me.

I don't have a great respect for reality or getting the 'facts' as a means of putting together a story.

Given a choice between their worldview and the facts, it's always interesting how many people toss the facts.

I don't think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times.

I like the facts. I find them interesting.

I think all good reporting is the same thing - the best attainable version of the truth.

It's not just that reporting gives you a bigger slice of life, gives - lends verisimilitude to what you are doing - it's that it feeds the imagination.

Unfortunately because of the variety of outlets for people to speak their minds on the Internet and that kind of thing, it's made the media in general more opinionated and there's more of a 'gotcha mentality' than real reporting.

I find myself sick to death, tired of arguing about details with people who don't know basic facts.

I care about facts. I don't care about your feelings.
