I hear women say, 'It's so hard to be a working parent because you can't give 100% to everything.' And I say, 'So what. Who cares?' I'm a big proponent of the Good Enough School Of Parenting and the Good Enough School Of Journalism.

I'm very conscious every morning that I have a platform and that I can do with this platform what I want. And I am very conscious of trying to, as best I can, lower the temperature; as best I can, trying to be fair; as best I can, trying to be reasonable.

I don't know many people anymore who sit down at 6:30 to watch the evening news. But morning newscasts are appointment viewing in that you always just have it on.

Like many 20-somethings, I had had a string of boyfriends and yearlong relationships that I thought would lead to marriage but never did.

If it's a beautiful day we love to go to the Museum of Natural History. They have sprinklers. It's what passes for a water park on the Upper West Side.

Kids, like adults, need to have a balanced news diet - one that challenges their own world view and encourages them to be skeptical.

Dating involves being witty and charming and making reservations at fabulous restaurants. Marriage involves compromise... something that sounded to me like a combo of castor oil and settling.

By 29, I'd gone on dozens of first dates and had handfuls of yearlong relationships. I thought I was practicing for marriage. Today, I know dating and marriage involve entirely different skill sets.

When I was 15, I had my own epiphany about how cool TV news looked.

I prefer my real friends over fake humanoids run by computers and true trolls filled with genuine venom.

My favorite Shrapnel show happened one cold Christmas night when I was 16. It was a midnight show. Now if going to a punk rock show at midnight doesn't sound like a traditional Christmas, keep in mind, the guys in the band were from our tiny hometown, making even our parents proud, so we were allowed to break with tradition.

The association between Christmas and punk rock started when I was 13, when my friends and I went to see a band play in the cafeteria of our high school. It was a punk rock band. A band called Shrapnel.

Since 2015, I've listened closely to Trump supporters' feelings and motivations. I've drawn insights from every one of my panelists on the appeal of Donald Trump as a disruptor, how they believed he was 'a fighter' for them, how they believed his success in business would translate into lifting the U.S. economy.
