I welcome these hearings because of the opportunity

to better understand why the tragedy of 9/11 happened

and what we must do to prevent a reoccurrence.

I also welcome the hearings because it is finally a forum

to the loved ones of the victims of 9/11.

of Richard Clarke, former counterterrorism chief

testifying before Congress on March 24, 2004.

Adults should hold themselves accountable for failure.

And so tonight I'm beginning this newscast

The failure of this program during the time I've been in charge of it

to successfully inform and educate the American electorate.

nor do all broadcast journalists owe an apology.

I was an accomplice to a slow and repeated and unacknowledged

I'm a leader in an industry that miscalled election results,

hyped up terror scares, ginned up controversy,

and failed to report on tectonic shifts in our country.

From the collapse of the financial system

I'm a leader in an industry that misdirected

your attention with the dexterity of Harry Houdini

while sending hundreds of thousands of our bravest young men and women

the Columbus and Magellan of broadcast journalism,

went down to Washington to cut a deal with Congress.

Congress would allow the fledgling networks

That public service would be one hour of air time

set aside every night for informational broadcasting,

Congress, unable to anticipate the enormous capacity

television would have to deliver consumers to advertisers,

failed to include in its deal the one requirement

that would have changed our national discourse

Congress forgot to add that under no circumstances

They forgot to say that taxpayers will give you the airwaves for free

and for 23 hours a day you should make a profit,

but for one hour a night you work for us.

with names like Murrow and Reasoner and Huntley

and Brinkley and Buckley and Cronkite and Rather

and Russert-- Now they have to compete with the likes of me.

A cable anchor who's in the exact same business

but News Night is quitting that business right now.

that some of history's greatest American journalists are working right now,

exceptional minds with years of experience

and an unshakeable devotion to reporting the news.

But these voices are a small minority now

and they don't stand a chance against the circus

when the circus comes to town. They're overmatched.

I'm quitting the circus and switching teams.

I'm going with the guys who are getting creamed.

I'm moved that they still think they can win

and I hope they can teach me a thing or two.

From this moment on, we'll be deciding what goes on our air

and how it's presented to you based on the simple truth

that nothing is more important to a democracy

We'll endeavor to put information in a broader context

because we know that very little news is born

and the mortal enemy of innuendo, speculation,

serving you the stories you asked for just the way you like them prepared.

Nor are we computers dispensing only the facts

because news is only useful in the context of humanity.
