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.

I admire Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly a lot because I think they're standup guys.

Try to imagine an America without rich people. Rich people contribute a lot to this country.

A lot of people who voted for Barack Obama expected and were led to expect something new in politics: a new tone of political discourse in Washington. And I think - I think they're disappointed, because Barack Obama is not a new kind of politician. In fact, he's an old Chicago politician.

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 mean, I think everybody realizes that calling people racist is a waste of time, nobody buys it anymore.

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.
