David Simon

Power, Best, Sad

The why is what makes journalism an adult game. The why is what makes policy coherent and useful. The why is what transforms bureaucrats and foot soldiers and political leaders into viable instruments of rational and affirmative change. The why is everything and without it, the very suggestion of human progress becomes a cosmic joke.
David Simon

Change, Political, Game

Art is art, and journalism is journalism.
Lance Reddick

Hero, Why, Between

Serge Schmemann

Politics, Best, Feeling

It's all a sham: I have seen, and I know firsthand, indeed from my own pen, how the organized Right has sabotaged not only journalism but also democracy and truth.
David Brock

Truth, Democracy, Seen

I don't believe in gutter politics. I don't believe in gutter journalism.

Judy Woodruff

Nancy Meyers

School, Job, After

Wolf Blitzer

School, Job, Someone

John Sladek

Truth, Writing, Write
