A Quote by Bob Greene

The professionalism of wire service reporters is constantly being tested because reporters know that if they're late or sloppy on a story, it will show up because the competition is likely to be not late and not sloppy.
I don't want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy
I don't want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy.
When you speak of the press, of course, you have to speak of different segments of the press. Reporters, straight reporters, wire services, you stick to the facts; you don't create the story, per se. You cover what is happening.
We're not seeing, you know, dozens of reporters being beaten up. And there may be more attention to it than there has been in the past. But it is important to recognize that the democracy depends on reporters asking people in power questions, so that the general public has information. We can't really self-govern unless information is widespread. And, sometimes, reporters have to be a little aggressive. I mean, you know, the reporter didn't beat up the politician. The politician beat up the reporter.
Sloppy language leads to sloppy thought, and sloppy thought to sloppy legislation.
My guess is more reporters probably vote Democrat than Republican - just because I think reporters are smart.
Reporters may believe they control the story, but the story always controls the reporters.
The meat-and-potatoes work of world journalism is performed by the wire service reporters.
War reporters are often seen as a wild bunch of thrill-seekers who wade into danger zones simply for the sake of the adrenalin high the settings inevitably provide. But this one-dimensional explanation leaves out the core of the story, which is that reporters go to these places because they feel the tug of responsibility.
The news is fake because so much of the news is fake. So one thing that I felt it was very important to do - and I hope we can correct it. Because there's nobody I have more respect for - well, maybe a little bit but the reporters, good reporters.
Print reporters have the opportunity to go so much more in depth in certain stories than television reporters do because they're working on stories for months at a time.
I used to love 'The Late Late Show.' It was nice to be able to be up late at night and see an extended conversation.
If you have a sloppy religion you get a sloppy atheism.
I collect watches because I'm always late, and I need to know exactly how late I'm going to be - in order to come up with a good excuse.
I think what happened is, we have gotten a little careless maybe and sloppy over the last 10 years with the mechanisms that used to provide oversight, checks and balances, a safety net, if you will, for professionalism.
'Old School' is so breezy it could be a late-night talk show, especially when Craig Kilborn, of 'The Late Late Show,' sidles into camera range as a particularly loathsome competitor to Mitch.
