We cannot make good news out of bad practice.
Edward R. Murrow
It has always seemed to me the real art in this business is not so much moving information or guidance or policy five or 10,000 miles. That is an electronic problem. The real art is to move it the last three feet in face to face conversation.
Edward R. Murrow
A satellite has no conscience.
