Peter Alexander Leaves NBC News After 22 Years
"I've had the most incredible experience over 22 years with NBC News, from Baghdad to Banda Aceh to Burbank to Beijing. It's hard to believe I've been a part of the NBC family for longer than I've had my own family."
"Because I live in Washington, it is also a trek. I've been away from my home for 80 nights in the last seven months. More than 220 Friday nights away from my family in the last seven years."
"What do you say to Americans who are scared? I say that you are a terrible reporter, that's what I say. I think it's a very nasty question."
