If there's one thing that Trump does, he never quits.
media literature journalism
The central dilemma in journalism is that you don't know what you don't know.
believe thinking air
I don't think there will ever be a permanent truce, but I believe the media needs to be more careful and be willing to count to 10 before rushing on the air or into print.
spectacular originals
Rawhide Down is full of spectacular, original reporting.
disappointment thinking giving
I think there are people out there who just kind of say, let's repot the plant. Let's give somebody else a chance. And it's not just anger or disappointment in their lives, it's the sense of, let's shake this up. And no one is shaking it up as much as Trump.
believe stories may
Reporters may believe they control the story, but the story always controls the reporters.
people aggressive
I always am very aggressive and putting out much more than people would like, but that's the business I'm in.

I think journalism gets measured by the quality of information it presents, not the drama or the pyrotechnics associated with us.
ties government secret
A reporter's ability to keep the bond of confidentiality often enables him to learn the hidden or secret aspects of government.

Way before Watergate, senior administration officials hid behind anonymity.

Because of Watergate in part, I am kind of a magnet for calls and information and suggestions.
thinking political literature
Certain political figures think when you call them and ask them for a comment; that you are somehow doing something that you shouldn't be doing.
writing political missing
Any suggestion that I'm writing about political operatives because I'm interested in political operatives misses the entire point.
memories war tape
After Nixon resigned in 1974, he engaged in a very aggressive war with history, attempting to wipe out the Watergate stain and memory. Happily, history won, largely because of Nixon's tapes.
