Latest Rachel Martin Quotes from Interviews

• We do live in a time where there are fake web sites peddling mistruths out or sites that use hyperbole and don't put things in context.

• People are sometimes having trouble deciphering what is true, and what is journalism with integrity, and what is not. It is incumbent upon us to, if anything, explain our process, and make sure that people understand the lengths that we go to bring objective truth-telling to the air, and to bring a wide variety of perspectives and the choices we make in how we cover the news. I think we could do a little bit of a better job doing that.
