Welcome to Words Matter, with Katie Barlow and Joe Lockhart.

Welcome to Words Matter, I'm Katie Barlow.

Our goal is to promote objective reality.

As a wise man once said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, not their own facts.

Words have power and words have consequences.

Joe and I are honored to be joined today by Margaret Sullivan.

Margaret is the media columnist for the Washington Post, and before that, Margaret served as the

fifth public editor of The New York Times and was the first woman to hold that position.

Margaret is a native of Lackawanna, New York, and began her career as a summer intern at the Buffalo News,

becoming the first woman editor there and managing editor in its 139-year history of that storied newspaper.

Margaret Sullivan, welcome to Words Matter.

Thank you very much, fun to be here with you.

So Lackawanna, New York, is in the western part of the state located in Erie County,

and that's also the birthplace of the late Great Tim Russell.

And while he was born in Germany, CNN's Wolf Blitzer also grew up in Erie County and considers

Buffalo to be his hometown. So is there something in the water over there or what's going on?

It's just a great place and it seems to sort of spawn media types, I can't explain exactly why.

So it seems.

But I certainly knew Tim and I know Wolf and we wear our Buffalo roots proudly.
