I don't like when people talk about the news. I think it's boring.
I don't think journalism changes. It's about digging into stories and telling them well. The basic tenets of great reporting stay the same while things around it change. Technology has made reporting easier, but it has also caused job loss. Social media has increased discussion around topics, but it has its own challenges at times.
You pretty much have to be prepared to talk about whatever the news is. Running for Congress was good practice for that.
'Meet the Press' is the oldest and most treasured public affairs show on television.
The nice thing about 'Morning Joe' is that I do get to do serious news sometimes.
The most frequent way that I will communicate with him Obamacis when we're traveling. We talk about what's in the news, and I hear him talking about issues that are important to him.
I watched Bill O'Reilly for years.
I'm a big consumer of news and I have my six newspaper sites booked. And what I like bout Twitter is it's almost, it allows me to make a comment about something that's just on my mind.
We report the news. Fox talks about the news.
When you go out for drinks, tell people to bring in a news story that made them say "Oh my god." Talk about it.
I record the following shows on a daily basis and watch them when I have the time/inclination: 'The Daily Show,' Rachel Maddow, 'Hardball,' 'The Colbert Report,' 'The O'Reilly Factor,' David Letterman.
The function of a blog is on some level to start a conversation that you're not involved in any more because you've already had your say. That thing of coming right off the news - did you see what I saw this morning, can you believe it? - has a kind of fun appeal.
