There aren't enough good journalists. There are too many who really weren't groomed to be reporters and, as a result, some of the reporting is shallow.

I think we'll always have newspapers, but they'll lose influence.

To me, the golfing and fishing go well together. You see a lot of golfers wondering why they didn't go fishing instead. It's a great mix. It's a unique program he has there.
