“A broadcaster's journalism is valueless unless it is regarded by the public as honest, accurate and fair.”

“Get on, or get out.”

“Why is this lying bastard lying to me?”

“I'm here to ask the questions, not to provide the answers.”

“To be a good interviewer, you have to be a good listener.”

“The politician who complains about the media is like a ship's captain complaining about the sea.”

“My job is to be a lightning conductor, not a seismograph.”

“He was a man of splendid triviality.”

“The role of the journalist is to ask the questions that the public would ask if they had the chance.”
