You Never Know What Doors

At The End Of The Day, I'm Reading The News. I'm Not Digging Ditches. I'm Not Fighting Fires. It's A Long Day, And It's A Lot Of Responsibility, And It Can Be A Little Bewildering Sometimes With The Schedule. But, You Know, It's A Job, And They Pay Me Well To Do A Job.

I Like To Report. I Like To Go To The Newsmakers. I Like To Get Out. I've Heard About People Talking About The Anchor As The Voice Of God. That Set Is Not An Altar. It's A Great Job, I Love Doing It, But I Don't Take That Role As My Identity - The Anchorman - It Sounds Very Old-fashioned.

I Am Honored To Have This Role [of The Moderator], But This Evening Belongs To The Candidates And, Just As Important, To The American People.

I Think Sometimes We Lose Sight Of How Powerful We Are When We Put Someone On The News - For Good Or Bad. It Can Really Change People's Lives.

As Americans We Rightfully Place Tremendous Value On Having A Free And Independent Press. Our Role As Journalists Is To Give Voice To The Voiceless, And Hold Our Leaders And Institutions Accountable. But The Circle Is Only Completed When That Information Is Consumed By A Free Thinking And Engaged Audience.
