I recently read some of the transcripts of Nixon's Watergate tapes, and they spent hours trying to figure out who was leaking and providing information to Carl and myself.

It was accountability that Nixon feared.

I think that everyone is kind of confused about the information they get from the media and rightly so. I'm confused about the information I get from the media.

I think people are smart enough to sort it out. They know when they're watching one of these food fight shows where journalists sit around and yell and scream at each other, versus serious issue reporting.

I think journalism gets measured by the quality of information it presents, not the drama or the pyrotechnics associated with us.

I recently did the David Letterman Show about my book. He was very serious and made no jokes and it caught me off guard a little bit. He was much more serious than some of the joke shows that journalists...
