I think it's my interaction with journalists that has pegged me more as political than my actual records, although they have obviously political aspects to them as well.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I brush the surface of being involved politically with the issues and the personalities in the news.
I've been both a journalist and a politician, and I can tell you it is more fun to ask the questions than have to answer them.
I was a political reporter for quite some time, so I followed around all sorts of different politicians.
The fact is, most journalists I know are not particularly political. They move around a lot.
I took a political stance early on, but I don't think my work is overtly political. I respond to events.
I'm not sophisticated when it comes to politics, when it comes to journalism.
Most of the press is sent to my publicist so I do see most of what is written about me.
I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn't ever have to rely on the press for my information.
I've had more misrepresentations than I can handle, and people have told the wickedest lies about me. A lot of them have taken their frustrations out on me, and I don't like that because it can wound. Not necessarily me, but those around me. Journalists can be so bad.
My close proximity to many of the newsmakers can give me a different perspective about people in politics and what they might say than others who don't know them.
