Well, except for ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, the Washington Post, and about another 100 newspapers, I find little evidence of liberal bias in the media.

It's a libel to say that I use my newspapers to support my other business interests. The fact is, I haven't got any other business interests.

One thing I resent is the slur that I just support political candidates because of the business.

Journalists should think of themselves as outside the Establishment, and owners can't be too worried about what they're told at their country clubs.

I think you have a danger of regulating, putting regulations in place which will mean there will be no press in 10 years to regulate.

I felt that it's best just to be as transparent as possible.

Somebody talked me into writing an autobiography about six or seven years ago. And I said I'd try. We talked into a tape recorder, and after a couple of months, I said, To hell with it. I was so depressed. It was like saying, 'This is the end.' I was more interested in what the hell was coming the next day or the next week.
