I need to keep my story count high. I'm trying to get as many stories in my hour as is humanly possible. We're telling more stories in our hour than any national newscast has in the history of this business, I think.
The exact time of death, I think, is not something that matters so much at this moment for we will be reliving John Paul's life for many days and weeks and even years and decades and centuries to come.
I think there's a certain sense of grounding that comes from not being a rich kid from a media-elite school.
We were expecting a naval armada, but that hasn't happened.
That is perspective. That is all the perspective you need.
I look for those moments that are 'gee whiz' moments. There's some 'gee whiz' stories in our show, and they can't be written like A-1 in the Times. They have to be written more like Page 6 in the Post.
When I hear people say that Fox News is right wing, I know that's not true, because I'm the one doing the news. It's my show, and there's no place for opinion on my show. It's uninteresting to me.
Over there, there's hope. Over there, there is food and water. But you cannot go from here to there. The government will not allow you to do it. That's a fact.
This is what the world is going be saying, though. You know, we're in bed with the White House, whatever.
I'm very excited about our product. Our product is the day's news, something for your water cooler in the morning, and something maybe to get a giggle about while you're at the office the next day. All of those things can come together in a package that doesn't have to be boring. Why take something that we find so interesting and artificially make it boring? That seems like it would be a real disservice.
I'm excited to contribute to another platform of the FOX News brand. Radio is a fascinating medium and I'm eager to embark on this new opportunity.
I've always been fascinated by weather.
I like stories that affect families.
There has to be news at a place called Fox News,
