I'm kind of a builder of institutions. I think I've got some ability to look at what's out here, look at a playing field, and identify gaps and niches.

It's all a sham: I have seen, and I know firsthand, indeed from my own pen, how the organized Right has sabotaged not only journalism but also democracy and truth.

The truth is that the more responsible the media outlet, the more responsive they are to constructive criticism.

I'm always embarrassed by those rugby player autobiographies which get written by journalists.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
