I Was Really Lucky To

This Much We Know: Journalism Is Not A Precise Science. It's, On Its Best Day, Is A Crude Art. We Make Mistakes; I Make Mistakes. With More Than 50 Years As A Journalist, I Have At Least Had The Opportunity To Blow More Stories, Make More Mistakes Than Maybe Anybody In Television.

I Quote The Late Ed Murow. ... He Said: 'look, People Listen To Me When They Want An Eyewitness Account. 'they Think I'm A Pretty Good Reporter. But When It Comes To My Opinions, Mine Are Not Worth Anymore Than The Guy At The End Of The Bar.' And I Believe That About Myself.

I Know That This Story Is True.

I Respect And Empathize With Reporters And Editors Who Must Compete In Today's Environment. And I Know Full Well That When I've Been Covering Campaigns, Which I Still Do, I've Made My Mistakes And Have Been Far From Perfect.

I Don't Pretend To Be A Digital Savant Or Even A Digital Apprentice.
