We in the press like to say we're honest brokers of information, and it's just not true. The press does have an agenda.

I didn't say one negative word about poor people or about middle-class people or anything else. All I said was that the rich deserve our gratitude.

There are lots of reasons fewer people are watching network news, and one of them, I'm more convinced than ever, is that our viewers simply don't trust us. And for good reason. The old argument that the networks and other `media elites' have a liberal bias is so blatantly true that it's hardly worth discussing anymore. No, we don't sit around in dark corners and plan strategies on how we're going to slant the news. We don't have to. It comes naturally to most reporters.

I respect the Kennedy family. I respect their service. They do a tremendous amount of good. You don't blame the children for the sins of the father and all of that.

I don't think liberals in the media are really that much different from liberals outside the media.

Except for talk radio, liberals pretty much control the culture.

There's a kind of journalistic narcissism that New York-based journalists are guilty of.
