“I used to be a print reporter.” — Bob Schieffer Quote

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.

And as a result, I guess I'm just kind of a rubberneck. I'm kind of a - someone who likes to see things and likes to see these events and talk to the people who make them happen. But I don't think journalists are as important as the people they cover.

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.

Most of my thoughts, you couldn't print.

I started as a print reporter.

You've had some terrific print information that gets everybody's attention in this town.

I doubt I'll ever have another traditional print deal.

I think the media are so hypocritical a lot of the time in the way they chastise something just so that they can print it again.
