Quotes

  • What I said was that so many of the people -- and I'm paraphrasing, too -- it was something along the lines that so many of the people were so poor and so black. What I was trying to underscore was that most of the people suffering in New Orleans were African American. Some people have tried to distort that or whatever, but it's just a fundamental fact. They were poor and they were black. ... So the question being asked by some African-American leaders and others was, "Would there have been a different response if the victims had been predominantly white?" [According to a CNN Gallup poll] the black Americans said, yes, there would have been a difference, and the white Americans said absolutely not. So one of our commentators, Jack Cafferty, was talking about the elephant in the room: this whole issue of race and poverty in America. That is how that whole issue came up.
  • It’s really an important part of our democracy to have an excellent world-class news organization — like CNN is, like other news organizations are. It’s very concerning, very worrisome that the president of the United States, you know, goes after us the way that he does.
It makes me very upset to see when he says ‘fake news’ and we’re the worst. We are not the enemy of the people.
...What worries me so much is when the president says what he says, it gives encouragement to dictators out there around the world to go after free press.
We as journalists, at CNN and other major news organizations, who risk their lives every day to get the story, to be responsible and to do it in a fair way and for the president to belittle us, that’s an awful, awful situation
