And there is one institution here that strikes me has a commitment to the right kind of process and a whole set of other institutions that most assuredly do not.
Thank you.
It's a pleasure to be back home.
I thought I'd just tell two very simple stories.
One of them will not be about the truckers who I think have been well defended by my colleague, Mr. Murray.
My first story is I spent the first 10 years of my journalism career at the Washington Post, which that is the definition of the mainstream media, and this was in
from the mid-80s to the mid-90s in the era of the mainstream media's greatest influence.
And the two things, it was there that I learned my trade as a journalist.
And there were two things that were drilled into me at my time there.
One was the importance of fairness.
If you...
If you quoted someone denouncing someone else, you had to call up the person who was denounced and get a response.
If X said something about Y, you had to call Y and find out how they felt about what X said.
You had to make a good faith effort to talk to all sides of an issue.
And if you did not do that, your story did not appear in the paper.
Second thing that was very important was accuracy.
I remember once I did a story about a mall in Buffalo, and it was an upscale mall, and they had the bus stop across a busy highway from the mall.
They didn't want anyone, the sort of person who came on a bus, to come to their mall.
And in the course of writing the story, I talked about what the bus service was.
It was the Amherst bus, and I said, even the bus doesn't come from the city of Buffalo.
