Despite having been a television producer and host from 1965 to 1976, Dornan was highly critical of televised political debates and politicians involved in debates, in response to a question about soft money...

The tapes, recorded at private fund-raising "coffees" inside the White House and at a handful of dinners Clinton was host for at the nearby Hay Adams Hotel, could go a long way toward clarifying whether the presidential events were just "listening sessions," as White House officials insist, or illegal fund raisers plain and simple, as Republicans have charged...

While allowing journalists to visit the set of The Thin Red Line (and acting the gracious host in an informal, off-the-record chat), he continues to refuse formal interviews, something he hasn't done since a 1974 chat with Women's Wear Daily. Indeed, his last recorded comment of any kind was, "Well, I, I, uh, I guess I don't want to talk about it..." when journalist David Handelman cold-called...
