As a print journalist, you can be frustrated by people who don't call you back, parts of the story you can't get. TV gets you access to everyone because people call you back. It also allows you to satisfy your curiosity. I am a very curious person.

There's nothing scarier than a reckless prosecutor.

The average Liberian, it turns out, does not share the same assumptions as the average black Methodist minister from Chicago.

It is nice to be around people who think differently than you. They challenge your ideas and keep you from being complacent.

It is one of the triumphs of modern society that the life of the average person with Down Syndrome has become strikingly normal.

Nobody wants to be seen with a bigot.

You don't criticize your employer.

If you want another world war, run up unsustainable debts.

You need, in order to run a country as diverse as ours, a prominently recognized news source.

If you think your average Trump voter in Ohio hates Washington, you should see what Washington thinks about the Trump voter in Ohio.

Like everyone else, rich people respond to incentives.

You want people with different life experiences as a backstop against bad decision.

There actually have never been many shows as equally balanced as 'Crossfire.'
