real party thinking
I think the problem in the Republican Party is really not money. I think they've got lots of it. I think it is theory of the case - why are we here, what is our message, how to connect to the real world.
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.
thinking arguing reviews
I don't think it's useful for somebody to argue with reviews.
character thinking giving
I don't think voters give a hoot about the character of their political advisors, except to the extent that character reflects on the candidates.
smart fighting thinking
I think people are smart enough to sort it out. They know when they're watching one of these food fight shows where journalists sit around and yell and scream at each other, versus serious issue 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.
drama thinking quality
I think journalism gets measured by the quality of information it presents, not the drama or the pyrotechnics associated with us.
disclose effort joe organized publicly sort undercover wife
Was there some sort of conspiracy, or organized effort, or effort by one person to out, to disclose publicly that Joe Wilson's wife was an undercover operative?
associated defines drama gets good information journalism measured news quality somebody ultimately
Ultimately I think journalism gets measured by the quality of information it presents, not the drama or the pyrotechnics associated with us, but, is it good news quality information that defines who somebody is?
people leader president
Finally, the president added, 'The American people are idealists, but they also want their leaders to be realistic...'
silly mean people
People like to pigeonhole and say, Well, I'm a Washington insider, and you know, that's quite silly. What does that even mean?
character scandal complicated
Watergate is an immensely complicated scandal with a cast of characters as varied as a Tolstoy novel.
distance practice long
When you practice reporting for as long as I have, you keep yourself at a distance from True Believers. Either conservatives or liberals or Democrats or Republicans.
media politician euthanasia
If you interviewed 1,000 politicians and asked about whether the media's too soft or too hard, about 999 would say too hard.
