Reporters aren't actually people!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Reporters have to use their imagination, really put themselves in the shoes of the person they want to interview.
There aren't enough good journalists. There are too many who really weren't groomed to be reporters and, as a result, some of the reporting is shallow.
I've always thought of myself as a reporter.
Some people continue to pretend that anchor people are reporters.
Every newspaper editor says the heart of the paper is the reporter - which is true - except for the pay!
I always saw the best reporters as ones you hardly ever saw other than when they were back in the newsroom, writing their stories.
Journalists are simply leftists disguised as reporters. They're political activists disguised as reporters.
Reporters now are better educated than the crowd I knew when I broke in. We still had guys shaped by Prohibition and the Depression, so the news business still had badly paid people who loved it for the life, because every day was different.
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.
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.
