"Do I think I was put here on earth to be a journalist and to seek truth? No, I don't"

In this quote, journalist Peter Jennings is revealing his personal belief that he was not placed on this earth particularly to be a reporter and look for fact. He is acknowledging that while he might have discovered his enthusiasm and function in journalism, it was not his established fate. This statement also suggests that Jennings does not view journalism as the ultimate function or hiring life, but rather as a profession or role that he has selected. By saying "No, I do not," he is securely mentioning his belief that there is more to life than simply being a reporter and looking for reality.
