We expend most of our energy competing with our own colleagues

"As outsider might assume that we journalists spend most of our time competing with people from other networks. In actuality, we expend most of our energy competing with our own colleagues. In order to retain my spot on the front lines, I found myself vying against fellow correspondents like David Wright, another young reporter who'd recently arrived from local news. He was aggressive and smart, and I kind of resented him for it... during a period in which David was kicking ass over in Afghanistan and I was stuck in New York, I could barely bring myself to watch the news."
