I think we all have to begin with humility, even as journalists, and recognize that we all are the byproduct of an endless number of subjective experiences, like where we're born, what our parents teach us, what community we grew up in, what religion we grew up in, how we see our country, how other countries see that. These are all things that, of course, make us

So there was no fraudulent sense that, oh, yes, we reside above everybody else in our ability to free ourselves of political bias and political subjectivity, but that instead we're going to do the best job possible in our reporting to make sure it's divorced from from our political agenda. That has always been what has divided good journalism from bad journalism.

And I just, if you don't mind, Megan, let me just address the point you brought up with the 60 minutes of the Leslie Stahl and the Donald Trump interview, because this was a crucial moment for me. professionally because I have always been a media critic for a long time.

I thought the corporate media was losing its objectivity, was becoming an agenda-pursuing entity above all else long before Trump. But that was really a defining moment for me because I used to think the goal is to criticized journalism with the goal of reforming it so that we could go back to a time when we had major journalistic institutions all of Americans could trust.

One of the things I've done most of my career is I work with very large archives of information. I worked a lot with WikiLeaks on those kinds of archives, obviously the Snowden files.
