I Am Honored To Have This Role

I Like To Report. I Like To Go To The Newsmakers. I Like To Get Out. I've Heard About People Talking About The Anchor As The Voice Of God. That Set Is Not An Altar. It's A Great Job, I Love Doing It, But I Don't Take That Role As My Identity - The Anchorman - It Sounds Very Old-fashioned.

I Am Honored To Have This Role [of The Moderator], But This Evening Belongs To The Candidates And, Just As Important, To The American People.

The Biggest Thing I Worry About Is The Unsubstantiated Story. You Have To Tell The People What You Know -- And Acknowledge What You Don't Know.

I Think Sometimes We Lose Sight Of How Powerful We Are When We Put Someone On The News - For Good Or Bad. It Can Really Change People's Lives.

I'll Co-host Today From Los Angeles Saturday Morning And Then Make My Way Up To Merced For That Evening's Graduation Ceremony. I'm Still Touching Up My Remarks, But My Challenge To The Class Of 2010 Will Be To Break Through The Deafening And Too Often Negative Echo Chamber Of The Digital Era And Become Critical And Independent Thinkers.
