If we don't do our jobs right, we could be damaging the CBS News brand. We want to make sure that it's as good as anything else CBS News would put out there.

I don't think that CBS has chosen sides in the culture war by doing this. I think they all recognize gay people as part of a diverse newsroom.

People are so excited that there is a high-quality gay newscast. Our very existence gives validity to the idea of gay news.
