The most meaningless term in the English language is "I take full responsibility." When a politician utters those words it means absolutely nothing.

I've never seen class warfare as nasty as it is today, as a result of tax debate.

I know real people, whose names I could tell you, people I know who have said "I’ve stopped buying the New York Times." Why? Because their editorial position has filtered, has leached into the news pages.

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.

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