Forget reading their editorial pages.

But I will tell you that the Wall Street Journal, their news pages are as good as theirs is.

They are very, very good.

And I don't think any opinion or any slant is in their news reporting.

You could take a look at their editorial page, and that's different.

But you take a look at their front page, that's a good front page.

I'm not there.

I don't know.

Oh, very good.

I believe in that.

I think the unlimited possibility came in 1986 when...

This wild Australian named Rupert Murdoch plucked me from the Channel 5 newsroom in Washington, D.C., and brought me to New York to do this crazy tabloid journalism show called A Current Affair, and hooked me up with all these wild, crazy Australian producers and writers.

And...

my whole world just exploded because everything I thought was new in the world of television news couldn't compare to the five years I did on that show.

That show, and it catapulted me into 31 years of talk.

And it was the funnest five years of my life working with these guys.

I mean, it was...

I mean, we were just cowboys, just riding out there, doing everything in the world that no other news division was doing.

And within two or three years, when we got so popular, all of a sudden, all the television news networks were doing the same stories we were, the same stories they threw in the trash can three years before.

That's one of the reasons why.
