More quotes by Jim Lehrer
I'm not in the being-annoyed business.
Jim Lehrer
On a daily basis there are some huge ones that are, sure, from time to time, but it is helping the reader sort through all this sort of gray stuff out there.
Jim Lehrer
I'm a gatekeeper, and the gatekeepers all used to be mostly old, white men.
Jim Lehrer
In my case, I was covering politics in Texas as a newspaper man in the 1960's.
Jim Lehrer
If we don't have an informed electorate we don't have a democracy. So I don't care how people get the information, as long as they get it. I'm just doing it my particular way and I feel lucky I can do it the way I want to do it.
Jim Lehrer
People can say anything they want to. If they don't want to get the news from me, get it from somebody else. It's not something I'm going to worry about, I'm sorry.
Jim Lehrer
If people want bells and whistles and all of that, there are bells and whistles available. If they don't want bells and whistles there are places to go where they are not available.
Jim Lehrer
Let me be clear: Despite Roger Clemens' statements to the contrary, I never injected Roger Clemens, or anyone else, with lidocaine or B-12.
Jim Lehrer
Best I can do for them is to give them every piece of information I can find and let them make the judgments. That's just my basic view of my function as a journalist.
Jim Lehrer
I'm in the civil discourse business. I think it takes all kinds. And more power to everybody.
Jim Lehrer
We have increasingly fewer and fewer journalists who have any military experience and understand what life is like in the military and in combat.
Jim Lehrer
I have no reason to lie and every reason not to. If I do lie, I will be prosecuted.
Jim Lehrer
The death rate among Marines in Iraq has been more than double that of the other services.
Jim Lehrer
The shouting and opinion and jokes don't exist if there isn't first a story.
Jim Lehrer
I always wear blue shirts and I like wine or purple ties.
Jim Lehrer
People can get their news any way they want. What I love about what's happened is that there are so many different avenues, there are so many different outlets, so many different ways to debate and discuss and to inquire about any given news story.
Jim Lehrer
If McNamee is lying, then he has acted inexcusably, and he has made Clemens an innocent victim. If Clemens isn't telling the truth, then he has acted shamefully and has smeared McNamee. I don't think there's anything in between.
Jim Lehrer
Most of the stories I have covered in 45 years have been gray stories.
Jim Lehrer
I'm a journalist and that's what I do.
Jim Lehrer
If we're going to have debates, let's have real debates.
