“I’m all for hiring women in the newsroom and minorities in the newsroom — I’m all for it. It opens up our eyes and gives us a different perspective. But just as well, let’s have people with military experience. Let’s have people from all walks of life. People from the top echelon schools, but people from junior colleges and the so-called middling schools — that’s the rich pageantry of America. I’m a great believer in racial diversity and gender diversity, but you need cultural diversity, you need ideological diversity” — the late Tim Russert, in an interview featured in Bernard Goldberg’s 2003 book, “Arrogance: Rescuing America from the Media Elite.”
