EXCERPT:

BOLDUAN: “It’s not every day that CNN and other outlets are the news, rather than just — are forced to be the news, rather than report the news.”
THOMPSON: “We don’t want to be the news.”
BOLDUAN: “Right.”
THOMPSON: “But I think the other thing I want to point to is we’ve had great support from the other news organizations.”
BOLDUAN: “Yeah.”
THOMPSON: “This goes beyond politics, it goes beyond ideology or different perspectives.”
