Writing Is The Rock On

Foreign News Is Considered An Expletive. Thoughtfully Written Analysis Is Out, 'live Pops' Are In. 'action Jackson' Is The Cry. Hire Lookers, Not Writers. Do Powder Puff, Not Probing Interviews. Stay Away From Controversial Subjects. Kiss Ass, Move With The Mass, And For Heaven And Rating's Sake, Don't Make Anybody Mad- - Certainly Not Anybody You're Covering, And Especially Not The Mayor, The Governor, The Senator, The President Or The Vice-president Or Anybody In A Position Of Power. Make Nice, Not News.

Ratings Don't Last. Good Journalism Does.

I Have Tried To Remain A Working, Cutting-edge Journalist And I Don't Do It The Way Everybody Else Does It. And I Think That's The Difference.

It's A Legitimate Point To Debate. But It's Part Of The Reality. It's Happening, But It's Also True They (looters) Are In The Distinct Minority. I Think There's A Hero On Every Street Corner In New Orleans, And I Think The Reporting Has Shown That. I Think The Balance Has Been There.

Only Votes Talk, Everything Else Walks.
