I Used To Be A Print Reporter.

At The White House, Everybody Works For The Same Person. They're All Part Of The Same Company. But On Capitol Hill, They're All Independent Contractors. They All Work For Themselves. That's A Formula For Getting News.

We Now Assume That When People Turn On The Evening News, They Basically Already Know What The News Is. They've Heard It On The Radio. They've Seen It On The Internet. They've Seen It On One Of The Cable Companies. So That Makes Our Job A Bit Different.

Nowadays I'm Not Even Sure If Newspapers Take Into Account Whether A Person Is A Good Writer.

But If You Don't Enjoy Doing Something, You'll Be Miserable No Matter How Much Money You Make.

There's Fierce Competition Between All The Networks To Get The Guest Who Can Bring The Most Pertinent Information About Whatever The Story Of The Moment Happens To Be.
