thinking laziness deep-down
There is a - deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think there's a laziness in me.
strong thinking rocks
Everybody fears the unknown. But I have a strong feeling there's something bigger than us. I don't think all this exists because some rocks happened to collide. I'm at peace. When it comes, I'll be fine, calm. I'll miss life, though. Especially my family.
america cnn als
CNN International, Al-Jazeera and BBC are the same in how they report mostly that America is wrong and bad.
careers people success-in-life
People always describe my successes in life. My successes in life tend to be personal, not career.
unique thinking people
I look for something unique, and I look for people who haven't reached their potential. I think I'm pretty good at developing talent.
done
I've found increasingly less effectiveness with the man-on-the street type of stuff that was very standard fare for years. It can still be effective, but it's got to be done well.
jobs people focus
I don't have any focus groups on talent and programming. If I need five people in a mall to be paid $40 to tell me how to do my job, I shouldn't do my job.
team winning air
I'm very confident in the management team, very confident in the on-air people. That's the whole secret to everything. It's having people who love to work where they're working and want to win.
integrity humility news
Everybody who's in the news business today was influenced in a positive way by Walter Cronkite. He had ability, humility and integrity, a rare combination.
hurt fighting guy
When a guy has his ego hurt, he's liable to jump into a fight he doesn't need to have.
country growing-up dad
Growing up in Ohio and just being kind of an average guy from flyover country - my dad was a factory guy - I try to put things on a screen that reflect reality. I don't mind if people want to argue with that, or think that's crazy.
eras opinion grew
I grew up in the era when Dan Rather hated Richard Nixon. He was a newsman, but you knew what his opinion was.
It's better to be in charge of change than to have to react to change.
thinking
I think the media is dangerously close to creating their own product. They used to cover the product, which was whatever's happening.
