Importance of Accountability in Journalism
Pero he disfrutado de trabajar con cada uno de ustedes.
Eh, eso no significa, por supuesto, que haya disfrutado de cada historia
que ustedes hayan presentado,
eh, pero ese es el sentido de esta relación.
No se supone que sean
unos aduladores. Se supone que sean escépticos.
Se supone que me hagan preguntas difíciles.
No se supone que sean halagadores, eh, sino que deben examinar críticamente a
quienes ostentan enormes cuotas de poder
y asegurarse de que rindamos cuentas ante las personas que
nos enviaron aquí, y lo han hecho.
Y, eh, lo han hecho
en general, eh, de maneras que yo
podía apreciar por su imparcialidad, aunque no siempre estuviera de acuerdo
con sus conclusiones. Eh, y tenerlos en este
edificio, eh, ha hecho que
este lugar funcione mejor. Nos mantiene honestos.
Nos hace esforzarnos más.
Nos ha, eh, hecho pensar
cómo hacemos lo que hacemos y si somos capaces o no de cumplir, eh,
con lo que nos han pedido,
eh, nuestros electores

building, uh, has made this place work better. It keeps us honest. It makes us work harder. You have, uh, in, made us, uh, think about how we are doing what we do and whether or not we're able to deliver, uh,
on what's been requested, uh, by our constituents
