“But when you are talking to 7 million viewers across the country, man you have got to represent everybody’s views and have got to give them the impression that you are being as honest as you know how to be.”
Yeah Scott, that’s all it is, an “impression”.
Instead of really being honest to them, you have to give them the impression that you're being honest, whether you are or not.
I thought newscasters/networks were supposed to report "the news", not represent it. We elect people to represent our views. They're called politicians. I thought news people were a different breed. Doesn't seem so these days.
