“I think that in this era, where people are really hungry for someone that they can trust and a team they can trust, that it’s just something they sense in their gut,” Muir says. “And we go out there and try to earn that trust every single night. And we’re not perfect. One of the great gifts of this job is that you can go out the next night and give it your best shot again. But we never forget that we’re reporting to a divided country.” | |
The challenge, he says, when “half the country is saying give the guy a break and the other half of the country is still saying how on earth could this happen and how much longer will it last,” is to hear both sides without being identified with either. “We do this balancing act every night of trying to signal to an audience we hear you, we’re asking questions for you.” | |

In honor of the Fourth of July holiday celebration, I would like to offer up the first Amendment to the United States Constitution: | |
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. | |
This Amendment “guarantees” five basic freedoms to the people of the United States, which the Federal Government should pass no law to abridge (reduce or restrict). They are: | |
Freedom of Religion. | |
Freedom of Speech. | |
Freedom of the Press. | |
Freedom to Assemble Peaceably. | |
Freedom to Petition the Government for a Redress of Grievances. | |
The first ten Amendments to the Constitution are commonly known as the “Bill of Rights”. Generally speaking, their intent is to restrict the government and formally guarantee rights to “people” or to “persons”. | |
