Roberts spent a lot of time questioning her own institution, the media. She said there is no point in the press digging to uncover a scandal if there's nothing anyone can do about it.
"The public believes we are tearing down institutions because we are," said Roberts.
But Roberts said she is less concerned about the media prying into the personal life of the president.
"With the president, unlike any other office, we vote for the guy," Roberts said. "We want a president to be someone we trust, and we can't know [if we can trust him] by the issues. You tell everything you know and let the voters decide."
Roberts also described what it is like to be a journalist covering Congress.
