Any of us who've been newspapermen for a long time hate generalizations.

I hate actual newspapers. In my opinion, they are only good for wrapping up presents or cleaning mirrors. Or packing boxes. Or stuffing into knee-high boots to help retain their shape. Or using for fun crafts. Okay, I don't hate actual newspapers, I guess.

I don't like journalists and I hardly ever talk to them.

Every day I tell myself that reading newspapers is a waste of time, but then... I cannot do without them. They are like a drug.

Journalists are simply leftists disguised as reporters. They're political activists disguised as reporters.

I hardly ever watch the news... I love reading newspapers, but I know they're dying out.

I did not read newspapers until I became a reporter.

I like journalists.

Newspaper reporting is really storytelling. We call our articles 'stories,' and we try to tell them in a way that even people who don't know all the background can understand them.

It's one of the biggest fibs going that American newspapers are now being forced to give up their commitment to investigative reporting. Most of them gave up long ago as their greedy managements squeezed every cent out of the bottom line and turned their newsrooms into eunuchs.
