discipline challenges important
One of the most important disciplines in journalism is to challenge your working premises.
discipline movement deviation
Liberation movements - operating surreptitiously and conspiratorially - thrive on discipline and suspicion, and punish deviation or dissent.
queens celebrity-gossip wings
The queen of aggregation is, of course, Arianna Huffington, who has discovered that if you take celebrity gossip, adorable kitten videos, posts from unpaid bloggers and news reports from other publications, array them on your Web site and add a left-wing soundtrack, millions of people will come.
answers curse journalist
The curse of a journalist is that he always has more questions than answers.
entitlement democrat recoil
The Democrats generally recoil from the subject of entitlements.
smart stupid people
Whether or not Twitter makes you stupid, it certainly makes some smart people sound stupid.
scary vote satan
A vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for Satan.
mean thinking views
I don't think fairness means that you give equal time to every point of view no matter how marginal. You weigh the sides, you do some truth-testing, you apply judgment to them.
waiting littles dopamine
Every time my TweetDeck shoots a new tweet to my desktop, I experience a little dopamine spritz that takes me away from... from... wait, what was I saying?
dad mind kind
My dad was an engineer, and he became the CEO of Chevron. His was an engineer's mind-set: Everything's kind of a problem how do you approach the problem?
views media tools
My view of social media is that it is a set of tools, not a religion.
technology printing presses
Every technology, including the printing press, comes at some price.
thinking names done
I think there's been a decline in the public's access to what's being done with their tax dollars, what's being done in their name. I hope that that will be repaired.
thinking treasure privacy
Everything is accessible to everyone all the time, and I think there are wondrous things to treasure with what the Internet has made available to journalists. But I think it's also had some effects that are less pleasant. It has chipped away at a sense of privacy and secrecy.
