• People would like to place a standard on our show that doesn't exist. We're not set up for reporting; we don't have an apparatus for that.

Just because we hit on points that resonate, or people think are real complaints - that doesn't make us journalists.

• Looking back at the worst times, it always seems that they were times in which there were people who believed with absolute faith and absolute dogmatism in something. And they were so serious in this matter that they insisted that the rest of the world agree with them. And then they would do things that were directly inconsistent with their own beliefs in order to maintain that what they said was true.
