The fact is, most journalists I know are not particularly political. They move around a lot.

I don't trust a lot of journalists.

Some of our best journalists take themselves even more seriously than the politicians they write about.

Journalists, who are skeptical to begin with, simply do not like to be lied to or made fools of.

An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.

Journalists are supposed to be skeptical, that's what keeps them digging rather than simply accepting the official line, whether it comes from government or corporate bureaucrats.

Here in the United States, our profession is much maligned, people simply don't trust or like journalists anymore and that's sad.

I am satisfied that all politicians were meant to be journalists and all journalists meant to be politicians.

You know it's easy here to buy journalists.

The fact is that in a way, journalists become a kind of default in the system when you don't have substantive two-party back-and-forth inside of the government.
