Michael Ignatieff Journalist Quotations

What everybody forgets is that when I was a journalist in Britain and in the United States, I was always a Canadian. And the price of expatriation does not go down, it goes up. I never felt part of the political common sense of Britain. I never felt it in the United States. I had no natural home in Britain and the U.S.

A good journalist is modest; his only job is simple: to decide what counts as news.

I've been both a journalist and a politician, and I can tell you it is more fun to ask the questions than have to answer them.
