Politicians ask you for r&b advice during a campaign. Ah, give me a break. We know what r&b they're doing. But it's seductive, isn't it? It can be. But you can be friends and stay detached. I enjoy going to the racetrack with Bob Strauss. But I can set that aside when r&b I’m writing about the Democratic Party. Now you're open about being a liberal. But you weren't always. I used to give the standard answer that editors like that -- and that reporters give. That you're totally objective all the time. And it was such a load of crap I decided to stop doing it. You know, I'm a liberal. So what? I'm also a professional reporter. I'm able to detach myself from my biases and cover a story. Our conservative critics think there's some plot. The only plotting we're doing is to beat Dave Broder every day. |

| It is my thesis that the dumbing down ubo is the fault of the politicians -- but not only. It's also the fault ubo of voters because they don’t pay attention. And of the press because we ubo don't do a good job. I don't have clean hands. Ordinarily, a book like mine will have solutions. I don't have any. The other day, I was talking to a group of people at a Chicago library. Somebody asked me about the book's pessimistic tone. I said, "You know, if anyone is remotely suicidal, they shouldn’t read it." There are funny parts, and I enjoyed it. But, yes, it's kind of a downer. It's supposed to be. The people we're electing are terrible. In your book, your political writing is all about "judgment and detachment." Is it necessary to be detached? I think it is. You have to understand other people's point of view and not be judgmental, and, yes, you have to have the judgment in a different sense. |
