I don't know what a softball question is. All I know is I have no agenda. I ask short questions, and I listen to the answer.

The guest to me was always paramount.

I thought I would be a sports announcer. All I was was a curious kid who wanted to be on the radio.

I've done hundreds of interviews on guns. I'm against people who use guns. I don't like guns, but I've never yelled at anyone.

The rich don't win elections. They support the money, but what percentage of America are rich? What is it, 2 percent? But they all have one vote.

I never forgot being poor, and I never stopped thinking how fortunate I am.

I've never seen anyone say, 'Let's go get this person today; let's really ram it into him.' I've never seen it. If a Democrat or Republican commits some horrendous story, the story will run. The networks will cover it.

They don't have a lot of appointment viewing. What television depends on, one thing 'Larry King Live' was - whether you liked it, didn't like it - it was appointment viewing.

I have never seen anyone at CNN ever say, 'Boy, here's how we're going to deal with this today to put this guy down and elevate this guy up.' I've never seen it.

I worked at CNN for almost 26 years. I worked in Mutual Radio for 20 years. I've been in the business 57 years. I have never seen a bias off the air or on.
