"There is other evidence to suggest that robust conversation between people of different viewpoints may be what people are seeking."

Phillip's show was the highest gainer for CNN in both the Adults 25-54 and overall audience totals during February.

I didn't find CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip to be "embarrassing" or "discrediting" to the network as a whole. I found it compelling and interesting, despite its flaws and problems.

"Your show is not good. It is not smart or sharp. It is preening and often deeply ignorant. And at least you won't have to waste your producer's time by continuing to try to get me on your show, which you've tried to do repeatedly."

"As shocked and stunned as I was, there was no way I was going to let him say that to me, unchallenged."

"We want to talk to each other, but people have to be able to hear you.”

“There is zero room for racism or bigotry at CNN or on our air.”

"It’s been really fun to kind of do all these different things. I like having range as a journalist - it keeps things interesting for me."

"I’ve made it a point -- if they will not accept those facts, I don’t go on to other issues."
