“Journalists don’t like to be accountabilitized; once they’ve written something, they don’t want to un-write it; they’ll commit atrocities of logic to defend their work; they’ll grovel to downgrade a retraction to a correction to a clarification to nothing; and they’ll do it all with righteous conviction. That’s why they need editors.”

“Trust is the coin of our realm. We trust that the people we interview are being straight with us. We trust that our confidential sources are decent folks. We trust that our reporters went to the places they say they went, and spoke with the people they say they met. Naturally, trust doesn’t mean blind faith. Trust but verify, as Ronald Reagan said in a different context. But generally speaking, we are no different from anyone else on this planet: We accept that the people we deal with, and work with, are honorable.”

“[…] the return of an unmistakable, growing and potentially destabilizing bitterness in […] politics. A fairer-minded media would be the best way to level the playing field. Absent that, our politics will be leveled by other means. What the major media think then, if they’re still around, won’t matter.”
