Investigative reporting is not a way to make friends.
The most important thing about my profession is finding the truth, finding the reality of these shows.
Truth, when not sought after, rarely comes to light.
We found what we could at that time - the truth. If somebody else can find something else which we didn't find, that, of course, is a duty on their part, as is the truth. It will be the truth.
Whenever I met anyone who knew anything, I would bore them stiff until they told me what they knew.
I want a news service that tells me what no one knows but is true nonetheless.
All I've ever done is try to get at the truth of the matter.
Working together, they will dig out the truth and nothing but the truth about what happened in '99, to assign responsibility, and to look at the institutional failings.
What is a reporter except a kind of house detective, scavenging through the bureau drawers of men's lives, searching for the minor vice, the half-forgotten lapse that is stored away like a dirty pair of drawers.
Science never gives up searching for truth, since it never claims to have achieved it.
I always try to find the truth in a situation. That unvarnished, pure nugget of truth at the core of every issue that I write about.
What does it matter how one comes by the truth so long as one pounces upon it and lives by it?
You will always have partial points of view, and you'll always have the story behind the story that hasn't come out yet. And any form of journalism you're involved with is going to be up against a biased viewpoint and partial knowledge.
