badly beaten distance heads people quiet shoulders smiling talking tremendous
I think we've come a tremendous distance here. We had been beaten about the heads and shoulders so badly for so long there that people were pretty quiet about the office. People are talking again. They're having more fun, and they're smiling more.
american-journalist bark normal people
I want to try to talk like normal people talk, not just stand there and bark at the camera.
american-journalist good observers people
I also think it's not just good for the American people to have independent observers along, I think it's also good for the military.
people ten
You have to put people in place here who are going to be here for ten or 15 years. That's not me.
business cannot human objective outraged people suffering sure
You cannot be objective about human suffering and people dying. Any person who was not outraged by that, I'm not sure they have business being a reporter.
cancer thinking people
My bladder cancer was related to smoking, and I think smoking kills people.
fun people mind
One thing young people have to always keep in mind when deciding what they want to do with their lives is, is it fun? Is it something that I'm interested in? Is it something I enjoy?
smart games people
But here's the deal: If I were smart, I could figure out curling. If I were even smarter, I could figure out why people would actually watch other people doing it. I have tried. I can't. I can't even figure out the object of the game. Is it like darts? I just don't get it.
jobs people different
We now assume that when people turn on the evening news, they basically already know what the news is. They've heard it on the radio. They've seen it on the Internet. They've seen it on one of the cable companies. So that makes our job a bit different.
thinking people important
And as a result, I guess I'm just kind of a rubberneck. I'm kind of a - someone who likes to see things and likes to see these events and talk to the people who make them happen. But I don't think journalists are as important as the people they cover.
past people literature
But with 9/11, we found that people tended to come back to the networks and the people who had been our core viewers in the past came back and they have stayed with us.
morning night people
A great deal of our ratings on the morning news are people who died during the night with their TV on.
thinking people vietnam
Had there been a reporter along with Lieutenant Calley when he massacred those people in Vietnam, I think that probably wouldn't have happened.
hurt thinking people
Well, you know, in any political campaign, you're gonna have people on one side that are gonna slip a reporter something because they think it'll hurt the guy on the other side.
