news-stories gossip months
Some of the best news stories start in gossip. Monica Lewinsky certainly was gossip in the beginning. I had heard it months before I printed it.
giving stories attention
A lot of the stories are internal. They leak it to me wanting to get attention, wanting to get that headline. More times than not, I will not give it to them.
government media
The media is comparable to government-probably passes government in raw power.
dirty talking mind
I do most of my business on that dirty Internet that you were just talking about, where I find there is a lot of freedom to report exactly what I want.
voice eras citizens
We have entered an era vibrating with the din of small voices. Every citizen can be a reporter, can take on the powers that be.
media people way
I cover media people the way they cover politicians.
war nsa giving
Please give reason. Raised taxes; marching us off to war again; approved more NSA snooping. WHO ARE THEY?!
effort way losing
It seems to me we are losing our way in an effort to get the ratings.
stories world firsts
There's nothing more exciting than to watch a story break and grow, and to be the first one to present it to the world.
guy ordinary would-be
You would be amazed what the ordinary guy knows.
want not-sure i-can
I want one place I can go that is not going to be lewd, and I'm not sure there is anything left.
firsts steps first-steps
The first step in good reporting is good snooping.
editors scare citizens
There won't be editors in the future with the Internet world, with citizen reporting. That doesn't scare me.
internet tandem presses
The Internet feeds off the main press, and the main press feeds off the Internet. They're working in tandem.
